Kuala Lumpur's Climate

Kuala Lumpur has an equatorial rainforest climate, consistently hot and humid all year, with daytime highs typically 31-33°C and nights around 23-24°C. The city has no true dry season; showers and thunderstorms erupt on most afternoons and evenings. Its two wettest spells are tied to the monsoons: the northeast monsoon (November to January, peaking in November) and a second rainy peak around March to April. Regional forest fires occasionally bring haze that lowers air quality.
