Kuala Lumpur Climate & Weather

Kuala Lumpur Climate and Weather

The climate of Kuala Lumpur is typically tropical, which means
simply that it is hot and humid all year round, with very little
variation in temperature and no distinct seasons.  The mercury
hovers in the region of 86°F (30°C) all year, but can reach
around 95°F (35°C).  Rainfall in the city is heavy and
storms occur year-round, usually in the late afternoons.  The
showers often come as a relief to visitors who are unaccustomed to
the heat, and don't generally disrupt itineraries very much - just
be sure to carry a lightweight rain jacket at all times.  Another
balm for the heat is the amount of air-conditioned buildings that
visitors are likely to spend time in; Kuala Lumpur is a modern city
well-equipped to handle its tropical climate.  June, July and August
receive slightly less rainfall on average and for this reason many
recommend them as the best months to travel to the city.
