Mount Kinabalu is situated in East Malaysia. Generally speaking, Malaysia is generally warm throughout the year with temperatures ranging between 21°C to 32°C in low lying regions colder temperatures of approximately 16°C in the highlands.
As Malaysia is situated along the equator, Malaysia has two distinct seasons, the dry and the rainy season.
The north-east monsoon brings the rainy season from the end of the year (typically mid-November) till the beginning of the year (around February). Annual rainfall is approximately 2,500mm (100 inches). It would be advisable to avoid this period for climbs as the conditions may make climbs up the mountain more difficult. Generally, planning to do the climb after this wet season would be ideal (from February till April). Temperatures at the main park during this period would range between 20°C to 25°C. However, higher up at the peak, temperatures still can approach near freezing. Therefore, it would still be advisable to have the necessary garments for this weather such as boots, rain coats and warms jackets.
