Malaysia

August continues the Southwest Monsoon season in Malaysia, characterized by relatively dry and sunny conditions. The west coast of the peninsula, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Malacca, receives the lowest average rainfall of the year, ranging from 100mm (3.94") to 150mm (5.91"). In contrast, the eastern regions of the peninsula and Borneo, including Kuantan and Kuching, have slightly higher rainfall, with averages between 150mm (5.91") and 200mm (7.87").

Consistent with the preceding months, temperatures in August remain within the range of 26°C (78.8°F) to 32°C (89.6°F). The ongoing tropical heat, in combination with the dry conditions of the Southwest Monsoon, creates a warm and generally sunny climate throughout the country.

In terms of sunlight, August maintains an average of about 8 hours of sunshine per day, similar to July. These extended sunny periods contribute to the vibrant and bright weather experienced during this month.

As in the previous months, the Cameron Highlands offer cooler temperatures, with averages ranging from 14°C (57.2°F) to 24°C (75.2°F). Although rainfall is less compared to the wetter months, occasional showers in the afternoon can still occur.

With its minimal rainfall and plentiful sunshine, particularly along the west coast, August is an excellent month for outdoor exploration and activities. The generally favourable weather conditions are set to transition gradually as the Southwest Monsoon season comes to an end and the second inter-monsoon period approaches.
