The best time to visit Malaysia is really all-year-round. Given the salubrious climate Malaysia witnesses, it especially makes for a good summer destination (Apr-Oct). The winter months of Jan-Mar are also ideal for its festivals (Chinese New Year and Thaipusam) and a slight dip in temperature. Though rain is expected throughout the year, there are not torrential downpours seen. From September to October, regions of Penang and Langkawi witness more rains than usual.
