What is the Malaysia's climate like? Malaysia has two main seasons, the Northeast
Monsoon (November to March)
and the Southwest Monsoon (May to September), separated
by two relatively shorter intermonsoon periods. The mean monthly
rainfall amount shows drier
weather conditions from May to July and wetter weather conditions from November to January. February is also a
relatively dry month. The date of the
beginning and end of the monsoon varies from year to year.They are determined
by the beginning of rain spell and predominant wind direction.
Sumatras are lines of thunderstorms which usually occur during the Southwest Monsoon season from May to September each year. These squalls develop at night over the Straits of Malacca and move east towards the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia at pre-dawn and early morning. They are often characterised by sudden onset of strong gusty surface winds and heavy rain lasting from 1 to 2 hours as they move across the sea. Maximum gusts of up to 50 knots have been recorded during the passage of a Sumatra squall. |
