Temperatures throughout Borneo remain dependably warm all year round, generally topping 30 degrees during the day with similarly consistent levels of humidity. Rain is also a reliable companion across the seasons, but short sharp showers give way to more prolonged downpours during the wet season. The western part of Sarawak is likely to be wettest between December and February, whereas in Sabah the wettest months are September and October. But this is an island used to the rain, and your plans are unlikely to be disrupted because of it.
