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.

    Hi Had a great trip this holidays with my son My special mention to the abroad agent whom i was so impressed with her immediate response to msgs and pick and drop .Plans were good for sightseeing and other activities My suggestion is if there was a guide who can explain things during city tour ab
    out history of the place its importance that would be great rather than booking a cab driver who simply drops in the place and waits in car Hope the team works in that angle of giving a guided tour Island hopping and Jet skiing with my teenage son

    Ayyappa's 3 days trip to Penang

    I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Malaysia, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the country's rich cultural diversity, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Thanks and much appreciated @Sagar for providing all the infor
    mation and providing good guidance from start to end of my journey. 1. *Cultural Richness*: Malaysia's unique blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures made for a vibrant and enriching experience. I was particularly impressed by the harmonious coexistence of different cultural traditions, which is evident in the country's festivals, architecture, and cuisine. 2 *Efficient Transport*: Getting around Malaysia was quite convenient. The public transportation system, including trains and buses, was efficient and well-connected. Additionally, ride-hailing services were readily available and affordable. In conclusion, my trip to Malaysia was a memorable trip. I highly recommend Malaysia as a travel destination to anyone looking for a unique and fulfilling travel experience.

    Priyanka Rai

    Bengaluru

    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.
