Abstract:
Malaysia in the Malay Archipelago comprises the Malay Peninsula, Sabah, and
Sarawak. It is located between 1 ° and 7° N latitude and 100° and 120° E longitude. This
region will face two types of monsoon throughout the year. It is Northeast monsoon and
Southwest monsoon. The monsoon rains over Kelantan and Terengganu usually begin
after the first week of November. Pahang and east Johor usually receive heavy rainfall in
December and early January. During the months of November and December, the
widespread continuous rain that occurs over the east coast states might spill over to the
west coast states which will bring continuous widespread rain lasting for a few hours
From mid January the weather begins to be relatively drier over Peninsula Malaysia.
