Climate

one of the first things to consider when you volunteer Malaysia is the climate. Malaysia is in the tropics with daily temperatures being a constant 34 degrees throughout the year. The country is affected by an annual monsoon with the east coast of west Malaysia experiencing high wind and rain from the months of November through to February. The climate means Ecoteers turtle volunteer project in Perhentian is closed in the monsoon months as the turtles migrate to get away from the strong winds.
