Lowlands & Highlands
Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Cameron Highlands

Further south, the tail end of the North-East monsoon gives Kuala Lumpur and Malacca some of their heaviest rainfalls of the year but the downpours are short lived and can bring a welcome relief to the humid conditions (avg temp: 30 °C).
West Coast
