Where should you go in Malaysia in december when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Malaysia in december ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.
Aside from a few localities in the northern part of the peninsula and in eastern Malaysia, the whole country is experiencing bad climatic conditions. Indeed, the month of December is the wettest of the year, making the climate throughout December in Malaysia very unfavorable for outdoor activities.
December on the West Coast in Peninsular of Malaysia
On the west coast of peninsular Malaysia, intense rains often follow light rains. It will be necessary to be content with the cloud thinnings, between the rainy episodes, to enjoy the sun. This is true unless one is heading to the Langkawi Islands where the weather in Malaysia throughout December is relatively mild.
December on the Northeast in Peninsular of Malaysia
Whatever the destination in the northeast of the peninsula, one will have to cope not only with heat, but also with intense or very intense rains - which can last for hours at a time. The few sunny days can be summed up as the lulls between two rainy days.
December on the Southwestern Peninsular of Malaysia
In southwestern Malaysia, weather conditions are as bad as in the rest of the country. The high temperature in the middle of the day makes the weather throughout December in Malaysia barely favorable for outdoor activities - whether in the day or in the evening.
December in Eastern Malaysia
Due to its geographical location, only Sandakan is very wet compared to other areas on the other side of the China Sea. If choosing to stay in Kuching or Kota Kinabalu, it is possible to get better weather in Malaysia throughout December.
