November is noteworthy for the tremendous volume of precipitation it brings to
Kota Bharu, culminating into 656mm (25.83") of rainfall. Tremendous weather transformations from
October's peak rainfall to November's waterlogged conditions turn everyday life into an amphibious one. A slow but steady rise in temperatures from October is buffered with increased sunshine hours, offering a somewhat paradoxical backdrop to the downpour. Juxtaposed with the retreating sea temperature, the land-based climatic conditions have a substantial impact on the local flora and fauna. As such, November commands attention for its reservoir of rainwaters, serving as the prelude to the closure of the monsoon spell.
