Georgetown's Climate

Because of Georgetown's proximity to the equator, it is hot all year round, with little variation in temperatures throughout the year. As an island, Penang is if anything rather hotter than the mainland, so visitors will need to be aware that it may take a while to acclimatise to the temperatures.

The year round heat and humidity is at times exacerbated by the phenomenon known as "the haze" - dust particles carried from forest fires in Sumatra. When this happens, skies can be grey for days at a time with little sunshine.

The Dry Season

Georgetown's dry season falls between December and March. As with any tropical climate, however, the term dry season is misleading - it can and does rain throughout the year in Georgetown. It will rain on between 5 and 9 days a month in these months, so don't visit at this time and expect to see no rain whatsoever.

Temperatures in the dry season hover between 28°C and 30°C, but temperatures barely drop at night, which contributes to the discomfort for visitors who are not used to this climate.

The dry season is the most popular and therefore the most expensive time to visit Georgetown, but less rain and lower humidity means that many visitors find it a more pleasant experience. Pack lightweight clothing and plenty of sunscreen, and a hat.

The Wet Season

Georgetown's wet season lasts from April until November, although the peak of the monsoon rains come between May and October, with October being the wettest month of the year. Early in the wet season, it may rain on almost half of the days in a month; towards the end, it is unusual to have a day with no rain.

The monsoon rains can be very fierce indeed, with heavy storms and strong winds. Usually, the storm lasts for an hour or two, but it's not unheard of for it to last all day and night. Flash flooding can be a problem during the peak of the wet season, which can cause transport difficulties and can also lead to landslides.

During the wet season, temperatures are around 32-24°C in the daytime, and in the low 20s Celsius overnight. The very high humidity makes clothing stick, so bring lots of changes of very lightweight clothing and plenty of insect repellent. It's much too hot for anything waterproof, but a head umbrella could be useful.
