Climate in Kota Kinabula

^{Kota Kinabalu has a constant equatorial climate with very heavy rainfall, high humidity (over 80% throughout the year) and constant temperature all the year round. The highest daily temperatures are in the low thirties centigrade. The lowest daily temperatures are in the low twenties. The temperature changes little throughout the year but April and May are the hottest months with December and January being the coolest. There are marginal shifts of one degree centigrade and so really of little effect to ones enjoyment of the location, however, the visitor must be aware of monsoons before travelling here.}

^{Like all of Sabah Kota Kinabula is subject to two monsoons the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon.  The Northeast Monsoon occurs between November and March the Southwest Monsoon occurs between May and September making it a difficult destination at these times. Also there are two inter-monsoons occurring between April and May and between September and October will also bring difficulties to sightseeing and amenities.}

^{February and March are the driest times to visit and the monsoon is at its peak in mid October so travelling will probably be the most easy and enjoyable at these times of the year.}
