Best Time To Visit Penang

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

Lying in the Straight of Malacca just off the northwestern coast of peninsular Malaya, Penang is an island of Malaysia that is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Being sunny and hot, Penang is generally considered to be perfect for exploration all throughout the year. The average temperature of Penang is around 28 °C with temperatures going as high as 32 °C. So if you are looking to spend a vacation under sunny skies yet cool weather for plenty of exploration, mid-November and mid-February may be best. The weather sizzles a bit around March with a rise in humidity. However, it still attracts tourists who want to explore the city at their own pace without much crowd. The months of June to August get a good amount of rainfall but nothing intense to act as a spoilsport to your daily plans.

Climate in Penang

Summer Season in Penang

The dry season in Penang, Malaysia is often considered to be the best time to travel to Penang Malaysia. The dry season in Penang ranges from November to March with temperatures ranging from 24 °C to 32 °C. During the dry seasons, Penang is cooler and less humid. So if you are planning to spend a day at the beach exploring the many tourist attractions in Penang or take part in some outdoor activities, November to March may be perfect for you. However, similar to the wet season, Penang's weather can be a mix of sunshine and rain even during dry seasons. Even during the dry season, Penang can experience light rain every 2 to 3 days due to which you may experience a slight increase in humidity. But this increase is usually very small and will probably have no effect on your overall experience. The peak tourist season for Penang is during Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year, which is also worth considering when planning your trip to Penang, Malaysia.

Monsoon Season in Penang

Ranging from March to October, Penang's wet season is quite rain-heavy, particularly in the afternoons. The Southwest Monsoon also brings the heaviest rains to Penang between the months of April and September. Average temperatures can range anywhere from 24 °C to 32 °C with the moody weather rather than sunny and warm weather that Malaysia is often characterized by. However, this does not mean Penang is not ideal for exploration from March to October. While the wet season may not be ideal for sunny beaches and warm weather, it's a great opportunity to explore Penang's indoor attractions, tourist destinations, museums, and culinary scenes. Wet season in Penang is also the off-peak period which means fewer crowds and better accommodation deals. It is also worth noting that Penang can experience sunny and pleasant weather even during its wet seasons with light rains lasting 2 to 3 hours.

Winter Season in Penang

Due to Penang's tropical climate, it does not experience significant changes in its temperature during winter. The weather is often humid and rainy even during winters. However, you may notice a cooler overall weather. If you are planning to explore the outdoor attractions in Penang or take part in outdoorsy activities, winter season may be ideal for you.

    Priyanka's 6 days trip to Penang

    had planned and organized this trip two months in advance, ensuring everything was in place just the way I wanted. However, as the travel dates approached, communication from our travel agent completely dropped off. Despite my repeated calls and follow-ups, they were ignored, leading to a lot of con
    fusion and last-minute uncertainty. We were traveling with an infant and a young child, and still, no rest time was scheduled after a long flight and extended airport wait. When I finally got through to the agent just one day before our departure, I was casually told, “Ma’am, everything can be customized once you reach there.” This added to the anxiety and made things more difficult. There was also poor clarity on payments. After a WhatsApp message a month prior, there was no further communication or confirmation. Naveen from Kingsman Travel was at least somewhat responsive, but Bhavay Garg, who took over as the SPOC, was extremely rude and unprofessional. His responses were arrogant, and there was no support from his side whatsoever. While we managed Kuala Lumpur somehow, the coordination post that was disappointing. That said, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the agents and drivers assigned in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi. Their professionalism, cooperation, and understanding—especially around flight delays and unpredictable weather—made a real difference. Kudos to them for their hospitality and support. Langkawi was awesome and the travel agent assigned in Langkawi. His hospitality was absolutely great.

    Gagandeep's 6 days trip to Penang

    What i thought started as a memorable trip soon turned into an anxious and irritable tour in between. Sales Person (Mr.Himanshu) on Travel Triangle /Agency (dont know ) sold the tour with some other details in the itinerary which later on was changed unilaterally, without any update to me which wa
    s frustrating and always given me sense of uncertainty during the tour. This lead us to keep in regular touch with Point of Contact, (Mr.Vineet) who tried his best to provide us the solution but was not upto our expectation. Once upon a time, he told that he isnt aware what Mr. Himanshu (sales guy) has advised for the timings when we enquired about our itinerary. This showed lack of coordination between different teams. The hotel which was given in KL was good but the one given at Langkawi was no where near the 3 star rating as advised in Itinerary. On enquiry with the hotel staff, we came to know that it was their lowest room category. Upon checking online, we found out that the room rent for the day was around 123 MYR ie around Rs.2500 per day. On enquiring about upgradation of the room, we were informed by Hotel staff that they only have available room at that time for which per day rent was 400 MYR and 900 MYR which is approx Rs.8K and Rs.18K, respectively. The room was smelly, AC was not functioning properly and we had to PAY (8MYR iei Rs.160) for the toothbrush and toothpaste which are generally given complimentary in the hotel. We enquired about it on the OnTrip APP where we were bluntly told that they cannot do anything about it and we only need to speal to hotel authorities on our own. THE TRAVEL AGENCY LACKED RESPONSIBILITY here to help their aggrieved Customer in a foreign Country where they are supposed to have their agents to help or coordinate. Secondly, Day 3, Genting Highlands tour was supposed to start from 9 am as per itinerary finalized, however the driver came to pick us up around 10.25 am. The day tour was supposed to finish at 6 pm and we were to reach hotel by 7 pm (1 hr travelling time) but driver told us to meet him at 5 pm so that he can drop us to hotel @6 pm. This reduced our sightseeing time at Genting Highlands and we were forced to quickly roam around without enjoying fully. Not happy at all. On numerous occasions, i had to follow up for driver details since the same were not updated on Ontrip App or driver has reached late to pick us up. All these were advised in the Chat section under Help category in the App. We thought we had made a good decision by taking package tour and finalized the tour with our inputs but then to found out that TRAVEL TRIANGLE/TRAVEL AGENCY for whom this is their day-in & day-out work, not able to UNDERSTAND the PULSE (their requirements) of their Customer is simply astonishing. We were not advised by the TT/Travel Agency that for Petronas Towers , we need to buy a ticket so that we can visit the tower and enjoy the view from the top. THIS, I really FOUND unbelievable that how your Sales guy did not included this is the package or advise us to buy it on own. When we reached there, we were told we need to book the ticket one day before to go up in Petronas Towers. We have spent good amount of money to visit Malaysia and then not Visit their marquee place is really annoying and frustrating that the people in your team do not guide their Customers well. I think people at TT are more concerned with number of sales made rather than the EXPERIENCE of their Customers. We are going abroad with our hard earned money and try to maximize our returns within our means but this experience with TT/Travel Agency really left us frustrating at times. Although, there were many memorable moments for me and my wife but ALAS, this trip is going to be remembered with lot of frustration, anxious moments and bad hotel stay at Langkawi. Lastly, i would like to say that i don't know whether Travel Triangle only acts as an Aggregator and shifts everything to Travel Agencies after a tour is booked by a Customer or it is also accountable for something. I hope TT should check these concerns because otherwise it is not a good review about them and YESSS, I AM NOT GOING TO BOOK ANYTHING IN FUTURE WITH TRAVEL AGENT, ABROAD VACATIONS and would definitely do my best to give review about them at all possible platforms.

    Travel to Malaysia experience was awesome. We enjoyed the trip. It was our honeymoon trip, itinerary could have been planned little better to give some leisure time to spend. Overall, it was great! We stayed in Berjaya and Goldsands hotel. Both were equally awesome.

    Mohit's 7 days trip to Penang

    It booking was easy and smooth. This is my 3rd trip booked from travel triangle and all three of them were from different agencies and all of them were really good . Trip to Malaysia covered Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur. Majorly 2 activities on each of the destination. The activities took around half d
    ay so there were quite some time to explore the city with your own or taking the rest . There could be more information from the agent, like what else to explore by your own , which transport option to take and other informations which is essential . Sky cable car in Langkawi and weather at Genting highlands.
