Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Very hot and humid year round. - May 2022
Humid and 90 degrees. It rains through out the year. It's hot. But, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. - Aug 2018
Imagine the hottest, most humid day of the year in a place like Louisiana. Now imagine that every day of the year. There's supposedly a wet and dry season here but I think that's a vicious lie because it rains basically every day. Most of the storms last for 1 or 2 hours but when it rains it tends to rain hard, to the point of mild flooding in the streets. It also seems like the weather enjoys strategically victimizing you by having many rain/thunderstorms start up around 4pm on weekdays when you're getting ready to try to walk home from work or around 2pm on the weekends when you're just getting settled at the pool. Be prepared to put your clothes through the stress of frequent washes and carry an umbrella with you at all times. - May 2018
Hot and humid all year. Lots of tropical rain storms. - Apr 2017
It is hot and humid all year long. There are some days where it cools down at night, but you will live in air conditioning. If you want an escape from the heat, go to Cameron Highlands for a weekend where the temperatures are lovely during the day and you might even need a sweater for the evening! Cameron Highlands is a great place to go to see tea plantations such as Boh. It's about a 3 hour drive from KL mostly because the last section is on twisty mountain roads. - Apr 2017
Hot and humid. Imagine DC in August, but every single day all year long. There is very, very little variation, some months have a bit more or less rain but the temperature pretty much stays the same. - May 2016
Hot and rainy, hot and dry. But, not unbareable. I've never done well in heat but KL didnt bother me. The challenge is just dressing modestly as a woman when it's warm. - Feb 2015
Hot, rain, hotter, rain, rain, hot...sunny, rain. - Aug 2013
Yearly, temperature ranges from 70-90 Farenheit. Humidity is a factor to consider. Kuala Lumpur is surrounded by moutains and is within a valley, thus air stagnation occurs. - Aug 2011
Hot and humid all year around; it's southeast Asia!Lots of rain, especially around 4-6 PM. - Mar 2011
About 92F all year, every day. Thunderstorms every day during certain parts of the year. - May 2009
Hot, humid with quite a bit of rain. But you do get used to it. It can be tough to keep your house at the right temperature; A/C makes it too cold but turning the A/C to a higher temp leads to condensation. Turning it off is too hot. - Mar 2009
Hot and sunny or hot, humid, and rainy. - Jul 2008
There are three seasons here but they often intermingle: Hot and humid, hot and humid with rain, and hot and humid with a slight breeze. - May 2008
