  • Geography and Climate:

    Langkawi has one of the more stable climates for an island in Malaysia. Located on the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the Malaccan Straits, it is shielded from major winds and storms by the mainland on one side and Sumatra on the other. This makes Langkawi suitable to be visited all-year-round, with occasional rainfall and cloudy skies, but never too drastic weather.

    Temperatures are fairly consistent during the day, ranging between 30°C to 35°C while at night, between 28°C - 29°C. Langkawi generally has the most rainfall between September till October, as a result of monsoon winds. However, the rains do not adversely affect the weather, making Langkawi and the sea around it relatively calm compared to destinations on the east coast.

    Hence, visitors can enjoy visiting Langkawi during anytime of the year. During the day, expect sunshine lasting till the afternoon and overcast skies toward the evenings. Between April till August, the island enjoys a balance of sunshine and light rainfall, making it the best time to visit.
