Climate and Environment in Malaysia

Malaysia is located in the equatorial zone between north latitude 1 and 7 degrees, and belongs to a tropical country. Speaking of the equator, people will think that it is extremely hot there, but it is not. Although Malaysia is located at the equator, as a low-latitude maritime country, its climate is deeply influenced by the ocean, forming a unique tropical rain forest climate, which has no four seasons, high temperature and rainy all year round, extremely small temperature difference and high relative humidity. The temperature in Malaysia changes little throughout the year. The average temperature at night is above 2 1℃, the average temperature during the day is about 32℃, the daily temperature difference is about 7℃, and the annual temperature difference is only about 1℃. This climate has brought many benefits to local residents, making it easier to dress, as long as you have summer clothes, and you don't need to buy complicated four-season clothes, which is also very convenient for tourists coming to Malaysia. In addition, the humidity in Malaysia is very high, with an average humidity of 80%.

Although Malaysia has four seasons like summer, the temperature at the top of the mountain is low, and even the average monthly temperature in some mountainous areas is around 15℃, forming many cool and pleasant summer resorts. Among them, genting highlands, located in the middle of Kibo Mountains and 50 kilometers northeast of Kuala Lumpur, is a famous tourist summer resort with an altitude of 2000 meters. From a distance, the mountains are shrouded in clouds, and the top of the mountain is often surrounded and shrouded by clouds, just like Penglai fairyland or a mirage. Calling this place "Genting" really lives up to its reputation.

Along the flat winding Panshan Highway, there are endless forests on both sides. When you drive to the top of the mountain, large clouds will float in front of your eyes and overhead from time to time, which seems to have a feeling of walking on clouds. On a clear day, looking from Genting, there is a bright night view of Kuala Lumpur in the west and a sea of clouds in the early morning in the east, with overlapping mountains and boundless forests. The air is exceptionally fresh and cool, and there are large-scale modern entertainment and dining facilities on the mountain, where you can eat, drink and have fun. It is a good place for summer vacation and leisure. In addition, the Cameron Plateau in Pahang is the largest forest resort in Malay Peninsula. The climate here is cool and clean, especially suitable for planting all kinds of vegetables and flowers. There are many kinds of vegetables here, including Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, green peppers, lettuce, taro, radish and so on. Vegetables needed by Malay Peninsula and Singapore are mainly supplied here. There are all kinds of flowers here, which are famous in Malaysia.

There is abundant rainfall throughout Malaysia throughout the year. The average annual rainfall in West Malaysia is 2000-3000mm, and that in East Malaysia is more than 3000mm ... The rainfall is mainly affected by monsoon. From May to September every year, affected by the warm and humid southwest monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea, the rainfall is less, sometimes it doesn't rain once a week, and the temperature is higher. Among them, June to July is the month with the least rainfall. From June 10 to February and March of the following year, affected by the cold northeast monsoon from the eastern part of the Asian continent, the rainy season is formed, with heavy rainfall, with the most rainfall from June 10 to February 12.

The rainy season in Malaysia is also quite distinctive. It rains almost every day, and it rains almost in the afternoon, as if a timer had been placed between heaven and earth. The rain here can be called rainstorm. Come quickly, fall fiercely, and end simply and neatly. There is little continuous rain in Mao Mao. Rainstorms are often accompanied by earth-shattering thunder, which is a unique natural landscape in Malaysia. Extremely bright lightning comes and goes, and thunderous thunder comes and goes, sometimes as many as dozens in a row. Whenever it thunders, it seems that the sky is moving and the earth is shaking. The arrival of the rainy season has cooled the weather a lot.
