April is a shoulder month, a transitional time between two monsoons, making it perfect for beaches and trekking with less chance of rain storms. Sabah is hot, about 29 degrees centigrade, but can stay quite dry meaning that bolting a bit of beach onto your wildlife adventure is a great choice, especially for the beaches of Kota Kinabalu and Gaya Island.
Day time maximum temperature 30 degrees centigrade
Night time minimum temperature 24 degrees centigrade
Average amount of rainfall 265 millimetres
Average number of sunshine hours 6 hours
Sarawak, in general, receives much more rain than Sabah (up to 260 days per year), so when we say ‘dry’, please bear that in mind.
