Malaysia: When To Go

Peak Season: June to September Both domestic and foreign visitors take advantage of Malaysia’s dry season during these months. Book hotels and flights several weeks to a month in advance and expect crowds at major attractions. Temperatures average 90-degrees year-round.

Off Season: November to February Malaysia’s hot, wet monsoon season is the quietest, especially along the Peninsula’s east coast, which sees the most rain. Travelers who don’t have their heart set on a beach vacation will appreciate fewer tourists and off-peak hotel rates.

Sweet Spot: March to May; October Showers are still likely on the east coast during these border months, but the likelihood of rain decreases as you move to the edges of monsoon season.
