Weather

The city of Kuala Lumpur is placed between the Titiwangsa Mountains in the East and the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, in the West. The tropical rainforest-like climate of Kuala Lumpur is quite warm with lots of rain and sunshine in almost equal intervals.

While the maximum temperature hovers around the early thirties, the low hardly drops below 180C. Rain is hard and constant from October to March while June and July are relatively dry and hot. Despite being a modern city, the rains are too heavy for the drainage system and, at times, the city can get flooded temporarily.
