Climate overview
Temperature
The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January at 25.7 °C, and reaches its highest monthly mean in May at 27.1 °C. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 26.5 °C. These figures describe month-level averages, not daytime maximum temperatures, and they do not show the range of temperatures visitors might encounter within a day.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is lowest in February at 4.79 mm/day; that makes it a conditional option for visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, not a guarantee of dry days or a measure of how often rain falls. The highest monthly mean is in November at 11.95 mm/day, when rain preparation is especially relevant. The unweighted mean of monthly daily-rainfall means is 7.98 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest monthly value in March at 10.24 hours/day, while its lowest is in November at 7.44 hours/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine means is 9.03 hours/day. These averages can help with outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not day length and does not promise a particular amount of clear weather on a visit.
Best Travel Time Guide for Johor Bahru, Malaysia: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising cooler monthly-average conditions, January is the relevant reference point, with a monthly mean temperature of 25.7 °C. This can guide a preference between months, but it is not a forecast of daytime highs or of the temperature on specific travel dates. If lower average rainfall is the priority, February has the lowest mean daily rainfall at 4.79 mm/day; treat it as a comparison of averages rather than a promise of dry sightseeing days. In November, the highest monthly mean is 11.95 mm/day, so visitors planning then should allow for rain in their arrangements. Neither figure tells you how frequently rain occurs.
For outdoor plans centred on sunshine, March records the highest mean daily sunshine duration at 10.24 hours/day. The lowest is in November at 7.44 hours/day, which may matter to visitors seeking more average sunshine for daylight activities. These are duration averages, not day length or guarantees of clear skies, so flexible plans remain sensible.
