Sitting pretty 45km northeast of Kuala Terengganu, Pulau Redang is one of the largest islands off the east coast of Malaysia. A bona fide diving paradise, the island is a marine park, along with the surrounding smaller islands. With pristine white sandy beaches and plenty of resorts to choose from, Pulau Redang is a perfect holiday location. The climate on the island is tropical with the average annual temperature hovering around 30°C.
Climate
The tropical climate of Pulau Redang keeps the island from having seasonal temperatures. The warmest time of the year is during the month of May, when temperatures reach 31°C. Fortunately, the island also benefits from cooling sea breezes. The coolest temperature the island experiences dips to around 22°C in February. The rainy seasons, or monsoons, usually start during the winter months of November through to February. This season brings up to 650mm of precipitation. During these months most resorts are closed and business is slow on the island.
Summer
During the summer season, Pulau Redang receives an average temperature of 26°C, with an average high of 30°C and a low of 23°C. There is very little precipitation for a tropical climate, with an average of 144mm of rain. The humidity stays around 82 percent with seven hours of sun. Wind speeds are light and breezy during the summer, averaging about 4km/h. In August, winds will gust up to 8 and 10km/h. On clear days with low humidity, islanders can see the mainland of Malaysia from the western shore. The sea water temperature is around 29°C.
In July, the temperature begins to drop in preparation for the rainy months of winter. The rainfall also increases during this time bringing an average of 16 days of rainfall. Heading into August, temperatures dip again and rainfall averages about 178mm, about 20 days of rain.
Autumn
Autumn sees an increase in humidity, as well as a considerable amount of rain. Thereâs an average of 24 days precipitation, and in spite of the increase in humidity, the temperature slightly decreases to around 29°C. October is when places begin to close for the rainy months ahead. The average precipitation during this time largely increases to 288mm of rain. As the monsoon season starts to arrive, the ocean becomes increasingly choppy and rough. Despite the rain and the arrival of the monsoon, there is still 6 hours of sunshine to enjoy each day.
Winter
The winter months of November through to February brings the monsoons. Pulau Redang is affected by the Northeast monsoon winds, bringing stormy oceans and heavy rain. Flooding is common during this time of year, which is why most resorts close. During the monsoon season, winds become strong, creating stormy weather all over the island.

From January to late March, wind speeds stay a constant 8-10km/h as the monsoon season comes to a close.
