This is the main holiday season for Borneo, with schools around much of Europe on holiday. The weather is traditionally dry at this time throughout Sabah and any rain you do get will usually be heavy, but over and done with quickly. 

The sunshine in Sarawak is at its peak in July, with less rainfall than previous months, although there will, as always, be occasional storms.

With temperatures ranging between 28-30 degrees centigrade across Sarawak and Sabah, it is lovely and hot at this time of year so the beaches are perfect for swimming and diving.
