Sarawak/Sabah during the wet season

I am looking to travel to Malaysia sometime between November and January this/next year. Due to other commitments, its really the only time I can travel to the area. Obviously it will be wet, but is it possible to travel through Malaysian Borneo during this time and enter the national parks, long house communties and climb Mt Kinabalu? Or is flooding likely to stop me doing these things? Also, which of these months (nov,dec or jan) would you recommend to go? Don%26#39;t mind if I have christmas abroad! Thanks!

Sarawak/Sabah during the wet season

I have just done a month of backpacking in Sarawak - during December and early January.

It WILL rain - but not enough to stop you doing things. Unless, you are very unlucky....... 3 days before we arrived in Mulu National Park the flood water was about 1m deep - thatys about 60cm over the top of the wooden walkways. It had rained for 24 hours straight !!

Across the whole of Malaysia the weather patterns have changed.

That said, the weather is fairly consistent with little change between the wet (monsoon, as some might call it) and not wet (or dry) season...

Hot at about 30c to 35c

Humid at about 95% ++ humidity

Rain - it might rain - it might not rain. If it does rain, it is likely to be a heavy shower or thunder storm in the late afternoon or evening. Usually only last a couple of hours.

Sometimes, it might rain all day - but not very often.

Clothing - light weight and comfortable. Bring an umbrella %26amp; wear sandals.

East Coast %26amp; Borneo monsoon is Late November to mid February. This is no longer a reliable weather pattern and the above info applies.

Bottom line - even if it rains you will have FUN.
