1. Find Out Which Month to Go
Our advice: Travel in February.
February is one of the best months to visit Malaysia, especially if you plan to explore Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or Langkawi. The weather is mostly dry across the west coast, with daytime temperatures around 29–32°C, making it great for city tours, island hopping, and food walks. Plus, you can catch the Chinese New Year celebrations, which add color and culture to your experience.
If February isn’t an option, July is also excellent. It’s slightly warmer but still dry in most western parts of Malaysia. It’s ideal for visiting beaches like Langkawi or Pangkor, and flight prices are often slightly lower than in the winter months.
