The dry summer season often extends well into September with a high chance of fine, sunny days throughout Sabah, although there is the ever-present chance of an afternoon downpour, especially towards the end of the month as dry season draws to a close. Minimal rainfall and more comfortable daily temperatures make September a good month to climb Mt Kinabalu. Good dive and snorkelling conditions continue, although it’s the end of turtle season on the islands of Selingan and Lankayan.
