Heavy rains along with thunder and lightning fall like crazy for about an hour everyday in the western part such as Langkawi, Penang and Pangkor. If you are thinking of snorkeling or scuba-diving during this time, you should definitely go for the east coast like Tioman and Perhentian Islands.

The northeast monsoon in the east coast (Nov ~Mar)

It’s lot worse than the southwest monsoon. Between November and March, you should never travel the east coast of Malaysia such as Kuantan, Tioman and Terengganu. A Great deal of rainfalls and lower temperature together with high waves and murky sea make these beautiful places into a mass.
