Miri

With a substantial population, Miri is an important regional centre in Sarawak, Malaysia — weather conditions here shape daily life for tens of thousands of residents.

Being close to the equator, Miri 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, Miri 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 Miri should aim for the November–February window, when the monsoon has passed and humidity drops noticeably.

Miri lies near sea level, so coastal breezes and ocean-moderated temperatures play an important role in day-to-day weather.
