Climate of Malaysia


         The rainy season in Malaysia throughout the land at the end of normal occurred by people in Malaysia. All daily activities can only be done on a limited basis during the day or night. I tried to explain briefly Climate of Malaysia. Features climate of Malaysia are uniform temperature, high humidity and abundant rainfall. Winds are generally light. Malaysia which is located in the equatorial doldrum very rare to have a clear sky even in periods of severe drought. Malaysia is also rare to have a few days with no sunshine except during the northeast monsoon season.

          Although the wind in Malaysia is generally light and variable, there are changes in the wind patterns. Based on these changes, four seasons can be distinguished, namely the southwest monsoon, northeast monsoon and inter monsoon two shorter. The southwest monsoon usually begins in the later half of May or early June and ends in September. Prevailing winds are generally southwesterly with poor speeds below 15 knots. The northeast monsoon usually starts in early November and ends in March. During this season, the prevailing winds are from the east or northeast winds of 10 to 20 knots. East coast states of Peninsular Malaysia are more affected by the wind where the velocity can reach 30 knots or more during periods of intense surges of cold air from the north (cold surges).

            During the transition seasons winds are generally light and variable. In both seasons, the equatorial trough across Malaysia. It is worth mentioning here that in the period from April to November, when typhoons frequently develop in the western Pacific and move westwards across the Philippines, southwest winds in the northwest coast of Sabah and Sarawak region is stronger and can reach 20 knots or more. As a country surrounded by the sea, the impact of land and sea breezes on the wind pattern is great especially during days with clear skies. On condition that bright sunny afternoon, the sea breeze winds of 10 to 15 knots often develop and may reach several tens of kilometers into the interior. In clear nights, the reverse process occurs and land breezes are weaker strength can occur in coastal areas.
