Malaysia weather & when to go: July
Malaysia July weather overview
July is a very similar story to June with the east coast of the peninsula enjoying plenty of sunny, dry days and the west coast islands experiencing hot and humid conditions, interspersed with short, intense downpours. This is considered peak season and so visitor numbers to Malaysia are at their highest during this month.
