The best months to visit Borneo Island .. Malaysia and Indonesia

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - If you want to visit Indonesia or Malaysia through their wonderful tourist portal represented in Borneo Island , you are on a date with a lot of dazzling things, you just have to choose the right time to visit.

If you're traveling to Borneo during January to March, be aware that this is the middle of the rainy season, and the areas around Kuching tend to get the worst in the afternoon.

The weather starts to get drier across the island during April, May and June, with the brilliant flowers and lush trees providing an absolutely gorgeous tropical backdrop for those interested in hiking or wildlife watching tours.

July is the month of festivals in Borneo with lots of local holidays taking place all over the island, meaning that shops and banks may be closed, so keep this point in mind if you want to have an uncompromised stay.

The weather during August and September remains relatively dry, especially in the south of the island (the Indonesian part), but be prepared to re-shower once or twice a day, which is definitely the best way to continue your day well.

Wildfires also become more common during the dry summer season, so please take all due precautions if you have respiratory problems or want to avoid the stuffy and smog atmosphere.

From October to December the rains pick up again, especially in the northern regions, but don't let this situation affect you, as there are plenty of rooms available at what is considered to be the low season for tourists in Borneo.

For those looking to reach the summit of Mount Kinabalu, this landmark can be out of the range of weather information for other parts of the island, so check weather reports before your trip.
