Weather in Malaysia
Expats living in Malaysia will quickly find themselves well-acquainted with the monsoon. These seasonal winds carry torrential downpours, that can cause everything from mild crop failure to disastrous flash-floods.
Weather in Malaysia is a slave to these strong gusts; the nation's seasons change only as a result of the different intensities of the prevailing winds. A southwesterly blows from April to September, and a northeasterly from November to February. During the tranition periods in-between there are light variable winds.
As troublesome as these currents can be, the winds are the most important mitigating factor in relieving the oppressive heat of Malaysia.
Year-round high temperatures and high humidity envelop the country, and the heat doesn't let up in the evenings, either.
Expats may find managing the extreme heat a major setback to living in Malaysia.
