Island climate

a feature of the Malay climate - the temperature does not change much during the year. On average, it varies from +25 to +32 ° C. There are no sharp changes, characteristic for other countries, here. High humidity and rainy seasons are something that can cause inconvenience to vacationers. The rainy season is most pronounced on the East coast, heavy rains and sea storms last from the middle of autumn to the beginning of spring. So at this time it is not recommended to come to the country neither to fans of beach rest, nor to divers.

One consequence of the high humidity characteristic of the whole country is the presence of mosquitoes that carry malaria. If the risk of contracting this disease in West Malaysia is considered to be zero, then those who go on a trip to Borneo simply have to be vaccinated. The most ancient in the world of the jungle conceals this danger.
