Best time to visit Kota Kuala Muda
Malaysia · 20-year averages
February is the best month in Kota Kuala Muda, scoring 61 out of 100, with April the weakest at 43. The 18-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs January to February — 2 months within ten points of the best.
March is the warmest month at 31.7 °C and October the coolest at 30 °C — a 1.7 °C spread across the year. 255 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.
There is a real wet season here. May, September, October and November carry the rain — up to 29 wet days in a month — while January to February drop as low as 10. That 19-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Kota Kuala Muda, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea never drops below 28.9 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.4 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.
The three strongest months are February, January, July. The one to think twice about is April. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
