Gurun

Gurun is a small town in Kedah, Malaysia, where daily life closely follows the rhythm of the seasons.

Being close to the equator, Gurun experiences a tropical rainforest climate: very warm, very humid and rainy year-round. Daytime temperatures sit between 30°C and 33°C almost every day, and rain is a regular part of life — often in the form of short but heavy afternoon storms.

During the rainy season, Gurun can see several centimetres of rain in a single afternoon. Storms often arrive late in the day and clear by evening, leaving humid but cooler conditions overnight.

Visitors looking for the best weather in Gurun should aim for the November–February window, when the monsoon has passed and humidity drops noticeably.
