Kuching's Climate
Kuching has a tropical rainforest climate. The city is hot all year round and receives quite a lot of rainfall. Humidity is high and there is little temperature variation across the year, although occasional strong winds can lower the temperature somewhat.
Kuching in the Dry Season
The driest time of the year in Kuching is between May and August. This is the most popular time for tourists to visit, and therefore the most expensive time of year too.
Expect average daily highs of 32°C and not much of a drop in temperatures overnight - lows are about 24°C which can make it difficult to sleep if you're not used to such temperatures. This is the time of year with the lowest humidity, however, which helps.
It's the perfect season to visit the orang-utan sanctuaries which are nearby, or to stroll Kuching's waterfront area, shopping in bazaars and soaking up the local culture.
Take only very lightweight summer clothing, plus lots of sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent if you're visiting Kuching in the dry season. It's not completely dry - this is a rainforest climate, remember - but you should experience only short, sharp showers rather than torrential downpours.
Kuching in the Wet Season
Between September and April, Kuching gets its heaviest rainfalls. The rain is at its peak in November, December and January, with January receiving over 26 inches of rain. Kuching is the wettest populated area in Malaysia, so there's no escaping the rain if you visit at this time.
Temperatures remain high, in the low 30s with sultry overnight temperatures in the mid 20s, so with the high humidity as well it can be an uncomfortable time to visit.
Nevertheless, the rainforest comes to life at this time of year, and many tourists take advantage of the cheaper prices to visit Borneo in the rains. Take waterproof footwear and perhaps a head umbrella, but don't bother with waterproof clothing; it will be much too hot for that. You'll want to change regularly as it feels to sticky, however, so do take plenty of lightweight clothing options.
If the rain gets too much for you, this is the perfect time to explore Kuching's museums - there is an excellent ethnography museum as well as an art museum, and Islamic museum and a science museum.
