Our guide to the weather in Malaysia during April
Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country with a rich culture, beautiful beaches, and delicious cuisine. From the vibrant capital city of Kuala Lumpur to its sun-soaked islands, the country enjoys a year-round tropical climate. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Malaysia, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Malaysia weather in April.
How hot is it in Malaysia during April?
The temperature reaches around 32℃ during the daytime in April, falling away to 22℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Malaysia during April?
On average, there will be 15 rainy days during the month, amounting to 228.1mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. Due to the high temperature and humidity, you might expect lots of thunderstorms, however they're actually fairly infrequent at this time of year. On average, April will see just 4 days that produce a storm.
Is it windy in Malaysia during April?
No - there is very light air movement in April so conditions should be calm with light breezes at times.
