Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures are highest in March, at 28.6 °C; this describes the monthly average, not the daytime high on any particular day. The lowest monthly means occur in November / December, at 26.7 °C, so visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages can use those months as a reference rather than expecting a sharp seasonal temperature shift. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 27.5 °C. It is a summary of monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual value, and does not show how much temperatures may vary from one day to another.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average in October, at 10.31 mm/day. Visitors planning outdoor sightseeing then should be prepared for rain, while remembering that a daily mean does not reveal how often rain falls or whether any particular day will be wet. The lowest mean daily rainfall is in February, at 1.63 mm/day, making it a conditional option for travellers who prioritise lower average rainfall. This is not a guarantee of dry weather; the unweighted mean across monthly means is 6.69 mm/day, rather than a day-weighted annual average or a monthly rainfall total.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine is highest in March, at 10.67 hours/day, and lowest in November, at 8.21 hours/day. These figures can help with planning around average sunshine duration, but sunshine hours are not the same as day length and do not promise the conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine averages is 9.43 hours/day. Treat it as a broad reference for daily sunshine duration across the calendar months, not as a day-weighted annual figure.
Best Travel Time Guide for Langkawi, Malaysia: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For a trip prioritising cooler monthly averages, consider November / December, when the monthly mean temperature is 26.7 °C; this is an average, not a forecast or a daily maximum. For lower average rainfall, February is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 1.63 mm/day, but that does not guarantee dry days. If travelling in October, when mean daily rainfall is highest at 10.31 mm/day, pack for rain and keep plans adaptable. The figure is a daily mean, not a monthly total, and cannot tell you how frequently rain will occur during your visit.
For outdoor plans guided by average sunshine, March has the highest mean daily duration at 10.67 hours/day, while November has the lowest at 8.21 hours/day. These averages may help with broad planning, but sunshine duration is not day length and neither value determines the weather on an individual day.
