Hot, sunny, dry weather is the norm across Sabah in June. However, there is the possibility of occasional rainfall (as there is all year), especially in inland areas during the late afternoon, where you may well witness short thunderstorms. June is fruiting season in the forest, which makes it one of the best months of the year to spot orang-utans as they forage for a fruity meal. It is also an ideal month to spot turtles laying their eggs on the beaches of Selingan Island.
