Climate
Langkawi has one of the more steady climates for an island in Malaysia. Situated on the north-western coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the Malaccan Straits, it is protected from major winds and storms by the mainland on one side and Sumatra on the other. This makes Langkawi perfect to be visited all-year-round. Sure, there is occasional rainfall and cloudy skies, but it’s never severe or longlasting enough to affect your holiday.
