Sabah has an equatorial climate. Temperatures
rarely rise above 32°C (90°F) except on exceptionally hot days,
and along the coastal areas rarely drop below 20°C (68°F)
at night.
In the interior and at higher altitudes it
can get quite cold at night. Relative humidity is usually 85-95
per cent.
Rainfall is common throughout the year, and varies
from about 150 cm (60 inches) to over 450 cm (180 inches) per year.
In most parts of Sabah the wetter period occurs during the North East
Monsoon from October to February and the drier season during
the South West Monsoon from March to September but often there
is no really sharp division between the two. It is sufficient to say
that on the whole, sunny blue skies are the norm but when it rains,
the heavens open. Click

Living in a tropical climate, we dress very
informally (e.g. lightweight linens & cottons, T-shirts, shorts,
jeans). For dinners and night spots, smart casual wear is the
norm. Either safari suits or lounge suits are acceptable for
business meetings.
