Summary: He's leaving Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia because he found out the heat was too unbearable for him. Other than the heat factor, everything else was fine with him.
If he had been here Sept, Oct, Nov, woulda had a dffferent outlook.... 24 - 26 degrees and breezy every day this month so far. Down to 22 some nights. Chill.
I am from Malaysia myself. After l immigrated to USA I realized Malaysian People are Really Chill, Friendly, Layback. The weather is Hot and Humid but you can stay away from the Sun at Noon and come out in the evening. Everyone leaves you alone and not try to scam you. The Food of course is Excellent and the cultural diversity is what makes this country great. I look forward to my Retirement in Malaysia.
@@hircine92h Agree. Temperature is different from heat index. It only feels so hot because of the extreme humidity but when it comes to truly temperature hot, tropical countries are not that hot compared to countries in the Middle East where you can't walk outside.
Thailand and the Philippines are better countries for gays and transgender people. I am a gay Lithuanian man and I have lots of fun when I visit Thailand and the Philippines. The people are very friendly and I have lots of fun in the bedroom with beautiful men and transgender women.
Homeless and drug addict everywhere, people were jobless, crime everywhere, everyone move away from that city.. you know which country i am talking about.. Actually you make a good decision..
@@lonewalker1595 , It is humid if u don't mind the weather. You have the mountains that is pretty cool and driving distance from the city ( easy transportation ), safe, lots of expats community, golf, good and reasonable food, English speaking, rental accomodation is fantastic. I travelled around the world, I feel u need to live there for at least 6 months and then decide.
@@judymckee5992 so for six months, under what visa should I consider coming? P.S: no issues about temperature. Hot weather suits me. Also, as an expat, you can't vote or open up your business. This should be possible!
5 years ago yg lecturer from USA said thar she loves our weather so much: hot n rain. Nothing to expect. If in her country, she can’t do nothing during winter. Malaysian thinks play with the snow is great!
Its been over 40 degrees in central California for over a month now. But compared to Malaysia, we have 10x or more cost of living, high taxes, poor infrastructure, expensive healthcare, and crime everywhere. I would still move. If it gets too hot, take a vacation!
Malaysia weather is the same all year around, 33~34 degrees with a chance of rain, and you never know when it is going to rain. I read my weather app, it said it was going to rain in the morning, so I stayed home, and it did not rain, afternoon when it was not supposed to rain, I went shopping, the shopping centre was 5 minute walk away, on my way back I was hit with heavy rain, just a bit over a minute, and I was soaked, just as I reached back my building, the rain stopped. Of course if you drive everywhere that won't be a problem.
@@joseph_weicarry an umbrella with you all the time to protect yourself from getting soaked in heavy rains. Enjoy the rainfall it's a blessing not all people value
I'm blown away how you spent almost the whole video talking about all the great things you loved there, it's making me reconsider Malaysia as a possible destination, at least a lengthy vacation, but yes, one thing that doesn't suit you can outweigh all the rest. Pity but that's what it is. I hope you're now somewhere you like better!
I got heat stroke in GT Penang. I'm 65 yoa. Thought I had malaria or dengue. Heat stroke kills hundreds of Hajis in KSA every year. It is a serious health issue esp for older men. Malls in KL are a blessing.
I liked hot rather than cold.. At least make me sweat and do a little exercise walking around burning fat.. Cold weather is always make me sick 🤒.. Nothing i can do during cold winter even cannot go out.. This is just my opinion ya. It's depend on individual perception.. Don't take it seriously or mad at me😁✌️.. Anyway enjoy your stay in Malaysia 🤗
@@KouroshKamyabiYeah, it's the high humidity that's killing us here lol It's just the same day or night, unlike those desert countries where they at least have cooler nights and dry weather instead of humid weather. So all my dreams was to try winter season at least once but I deeply regretted it 😂😂 apparently I pick a wrong country to try the winter season, it was Nepal. Even with bright sun and no snow the cold weather was brutal at just 5°C because the whole country is so high 2000m above sea level. I even got altitude sickness lol
Obviously, you didn't read the news. Southeast Asia is having a heatwave. This temperature this year is not normal. Our cooler season is between Nov and January but it's rainy season.
This is definitely a fair observation. I'm Malaysian, spent half my life in Sarawak and half in KL. Yes the people you spoke to are correct, it was a lot cooler when we were kids in the 80s & 90s. Also KL had a lot more trees. Many of the parks have either been reduced or removed completely, replaced by buildings. How we locals survive - in the city, we walk either in the mornings or evenings only, avoiding midday strolls. We do generally live with primarily live with the windows open and fans on. And lastly a lot of us who can't stand the heat, we will head to the islands, beaches, hills or mountains for cooler weather. Remember that KL is also in the Klang Valley, meaning it's not just about the evergrowing concrete jungle, the heat is trapped in the valley surrounded by the hills. 2 months is a little too short a time to have a comprehensive look at any country, there are so many states, cultures as ways of living that keep us all here. 70% of the time, the temperature ain't bad at all. But like how winter countries can have harsh cold climate months, we have equally hot melting months too. Anyways, hope the next time you drop by, stay a little longer. Come visit us Borneo side ❤
I'm Malaysian, and I can't stand the heat either. I believe most Malaysians are like me. We have been used to being in air-conditioned spaces since time immemorial, and it's almost inconceivable for us to be without them; Eat, Work, Play, Travel, Sleep in A/C. (That is also the reason I don't go to Europe from June to September: the hotels there do not have A/Cs, and the ones that do, set the temperature at 24°C.) In Malaysia, walking outside is only bearable before 10.00AM or after 6.30PM. I hope you had a pleasant stay, and good luck with your travels.
@@KouroshKamyabi maybe on your future trip, you could try visit Taiping or Kuala Kangsar, these are two district in Perak north from KL… alot more trees…
You’ve hit the nail on the head, bro. I live in Northern California, and I had this romantic notion of one day retiring in a peaceful Islamic country like Malaysia since I had heard so many good things about it. In the November December timeframe of 2012 I came to Kuala Lumpur for about two weeks to check it out. I loved everything about it. The people places cuisine culture, but just couldn’t believe how hot and humid it was even in December. I asked the locals if it’s cooler in summer like some sort of upside down weather pattern, but I was sadly disappointed to hear that that’s when the real summer hits in June through September. That quickly changed my mind about thinking of making Malaysia a second home for myself. I thought I was just a little too weak living in humidity free cooler environment. It’s good to know. I’m not alone and I’m not crazy. 😅
Gosh..Born , bred and still living in Malaysia yet I hate hate hate the weather. Especially sweating after a shower feels nasty. I don’t think I will ever get acclimatized to the weather 😅😅 It’s true, growing up it wasn’t this hot & humid. The weather had changed drastically for the worst past few years .
I lived in KL for about 4 years. I loved it but know what you mean with the weather. Moving from aircon to aircon got tedious at times. I did get used to being outside, but never felt 100% comfortable in this climate. I do have to say we used to live a bit elevated where we had the occasional colder breeze. I remember in the months of November and December we had mornings were swimming in the pool felt very cold (it actually was 19 degrees at 8 am at some point, so it was actually cold). This was back in 2011 or something. I now do holidays in counties like Sweden and Northern Italy. Especially in the Alps it is the perfect weather for us. Sunny but usually only about 25 degrees....though this last summer we had a heat wave with temperatures of over 30 degrees at 2500mtr height....made me think of Malaysia again :).
I live in Dubai. it was 45 C today. And humidity can go up to 85 % . It reaches up to over 50 celcious during summer time . Malaysia weather is so cold for me ! LOL
Agree about not being able to hang out outside comfortably. The humidity is the thing. It was much more drier and cooler when I was a kid in the early 70s in a town that is now a city with 1/2 mil people . The morning air was really cold and there was dew on the grass. Back then we had only 10 mil people now we have 33 mil. Put it down to population and industrialization. One has to be a real authentic enthusiast of trees, herbs, fruits etc that make our food and medicine to really love it here. Like I cant live well without the tropical fruits like pineapple, mangoes, the very many varieties of bananas and plantains, rambutans, mangosteens etc, etc. Goodluck and best wishes. Thank you for all the compliments that you have showered unto Msia.
November to December are definitely cooler. You happen to be here during the 2 hottest months of the year, April and May. Get a dehumidifier or turn on the AC in dry mode when at home.
I've always recommended to friends that Malaysia is the best place to start if youre exploring SEA for the first time. It gets pretty hardcore beyond Malaysia. The humidity is a challenge, my siblings in Dublin changed their minds after two weeks of pondering on migrating when they visited last year. The rapid growth of KL has kinda caused a heat trap scenario. 😂
Thailand is the best country to visit to explore SEA for the first time. The second country is the Philippines. I am a gay Lithuanian man and I will never visit Malaysia because the people in that country don't accept gays, lesbians, and transgender people. When I go to Thailand and the Philippines, I am very happy because I have lots of fun with the gay men and the transgender women. I always carry a bottle of Viagra with me and I use it often and have lots of fun and experience good times.
I just returned from two beautiful neighbouring country and their hot weather is so much hot if not worst than in Kuala Lumpur its such a relief to be back, shaded trees are every where in KL in comparison to another city. Just walk into any air condition walkway, shops, shopping centres, offices, blocks restaurants, apartments, buildings, are everywhere. We in KL say we just cannot like the sun, sunshine and expect everything nice, cooling and warm...its not but the sun is hot. Many westerner wear the wrong cloths or garment materials in KL. Suits and thick T shirts wont work in sunny KL..
Reminds me of my arrival in Malaysia when stepping out of the air-conditioned Airport. Just felt like a hot rush of air passing by me and enveloping me at the same time. I was also exiting into a sort of bus terminus and thought it was the fumes of a bus driving past me and was still looking for this imaginary bus. That was about 25 years ago and hope to go back one day.
We visited Malaysia in October and it rained in late afternoon almost every day, which helped with the heat. I agree with everything else that you mentioned about Malaysia including food, transportation, shopping, security, and modern amenities. Try it agin in a couple years and the heat might be more tolerable then. Too much construction/ many concrete buildings can cause the temperature in the city to stay high too. Thanks
I agree with you, I too could not stand the heat. i was there for three weeks, and could not wait to get away from the heat. I am a Malaysian and glad to be back in cold climate.
For walking most locals only do that within say from 6 am to 11 am . After 11 am no more going out until it rains or near 6 pm you just stay in AC buildings for work or malls. Its a bit more lively after dark and also a lot cooler. I mean in public places the AC is free.
YET, there's a guy who made a video at KLIA Departure and asked the tourist, they said "it's ok but it's very hard to find alcohol" I was like, did you book a Mosque for the entire stay in KL? It's EVERYWHERE! Even the tiny shop, Chinese shop, it's EVERYWHERE, and all the delicious food, night market, museums, shopping mall (not about the luxury thing) perhaps your country is cheaper, it's the interior, the food in Kampung Baru, is Authentic Malaysian mix Indonesian delicious food, and seriously in your mind is the ALCOHOL?
yeah. cases of dui of alcohol is lot even taking lives but hard to get alcohol? sure crazy havoc alcohol party will get you into troubles because this country majority is muslim but alcohol is almost everywhere on west side of peninsular like kl, penang,malacca and other tourist spot. if on the east side of peninsular just go to chinese or indian shop or hotel resorts. just a reminder to tourist never to cause a scene while you DRUNK, or you will attract mobs 5km around like a hungry mosquito. peoples are bit passive but just the word drunken troublemaker will tick them off so bad. if alcohol is the main agenda, then malaysia is not your destination although its everywhere here.
Thank you for your honest Assessment and vision comment and really curious to know the reason of you leaving soon that relief my curiosity than. Wish you all the best on your undertaking and pray for your safety. You're always welcome!! Take care 👏
I spoke with so many people and they all pretty much said it’s the same temperature everyday. I will try again during the cooler months to see how it is. 🙏🏻🇲🇾
This year is a lot hotter… because of the heatwave in this region this year… usually it is not this hot, yes it is hot the whole year but not like now… probably due to climate change as well
@@KouroshKamyabi global warming dude. The weather is getting crazy. Try to go to Thailand, over there is hotter and more humid than Malaysia. I can't event stand the heat.
Yes bro in Thailand and Indonesia also more hot, This is normal, we Malaysians prefer heat to cold, but we Malaysians can endure the 35 degree weather,@@juneadmodisastro1310
Young man, your assessment of our country is true with regards to food and the beautiful people that we have. In terms of affordability, when you talk in terms of dollars, everything becomes cheap. But we don't earn in dollars here. Everything is expensive for us. As of recent surveys and statistical analysis, the average monthly salary in Malaysia is estimated to be around RM 3,000 to RM 3,500 (approximately USD 640 to USD 750). This average monthly salary also reflects the gross income, meaning it is the amount before deductions such as income tax, social security, and other potential contributions are made. So, make your own calculation on how a family can live on that amount.
As I spoke with some Moroccan people. Yes, they paid around $380 rent but that is actually what they brought home for the month. Just as I pay $1100 in US but if I didn’t work two jobs..that is what I also would bring home for the month!🌸
As a local, I agree with your observation, i.e cost is cheaper for those earnings in US or Euros, and the heat is getting higher compared to 30 years ago
Yeah, just a few years ago, the weather was not this hot.even malaysian can't handle it. School students are given optionals to wear t shirt because of it. When i was in saudi arabia for a month, the temperature was higher but not humid.i still can handle it.but when i first go back to malaysia, the hot plus humid suffocates me and takes time to adapt.
I have been traveling the world since I was 18 years old, I am 47 now and still traveling .. Been to many countries , lived in four different countries , been to Malaysia four times already and I have to admit Malaysian people are the nicest, kindest and most real people I have ever met .. Second is the people of Iran .. Greetings from Alanya, Turkey !
I am Malaysian. Very proud of my country. You are right, our high class hotel rates is extremely affordable which many foreigners are unaware. Please visit Malaysia again.
Why I left Malaysia. I lived in KL for a year in the Seri Kembangan area near The Mines, and as a white foreigner, the looks I used to get from non-Malaysians (Arabs) were horrendous, I did not feel safe. The heat is horrendous. There are electric/thunderstorms most days. I acquired 4 mosquito bites a day. The taxis are the worst in the world, my experience was that the Indian drivers would refuse to take you where you wanted to go, if they did not want to go there; I got a taxi to a shopping mall in the Cheras area, the driver dropped me off on the motorway, when I complained he punched me. There is a "sin tax" on pork and alcohol. Corruption is rife. All roads in and around KL are are gridlocked. Apart from the express train between KLIA and KL Sentral, the public transport is terrible, that's why the roads are gridlocked so be prepared to spend hours travelling short distances. If you want to live in Malaysia I would recommend the KL centre or Mont Kiara. If you cant stand the heat, move to the Genting Highlands. As for a pecking order and racism, it is also rife.
It's the global El Nino phenomenon. No where is safe now... that's the sad reality. Here we are experiencing hot weather while the other part of the world, tornadoes, tsunami, mega landslide, super flood, meteor showers etc...mother nature is really upset now. 😢
True that most expat foreigners will find Malaysia affordable due to relatively strong foreign currencies. Unfortunately Malaysian wages are stagnant as we get swamped by cheap foreign labours. Hence while expats are drawn to affordable living here, many Malaysians are leaving for better opportunities elsewhere
Thanks you for spending 2 months in Malaysia. You're right about the temperature nowadays is much hotter compared to 20-30 years ago. During my school days I was told than the average temperature in Malaysia is 27 degrees Celcius. But nowadays I saw that the temperature is almost 33 degrees for almost every single day.
SEA is always hot and humid with sun directly over head. If you are from Northern Hemisphere, you will melt in the heat. Other side of that is I can stand outside in polo shirt at 3°C and be perfectly comfortable while others are freezing.
It is hot and humid, but having lived in El Paso, the heat is nothing. The high humidity days can be oppressive, but I've acclimated better than I thought possible. As long as I am not in direct sunlight (use an umbrella), I feel fine most of the time.
Yessss, i told soo many of my australian and western friends that SEA heat is HORRIBLE! And they keep saying i prefer hot i hate the cold i hate wearing jacket. Yea how bout extreme sticky sweaty armpit and groin every single time u want to enjoy a 10m walk along a fcking park. Sweat just make everything worst and the heat is just exhausting.
It's really frustrating to me that most of the best parts of the planet to live currently may be uninhabitable for my grandkids. I want to get my young kids out of the US and I am wondering if we should just start the first settlement in Antarctica at this point. Or like the middle of nowhere in Canada. But I'd really like to take them somewhere with culture and KL seems like the best place on the planet for cost vs quality, it is really scary it is warming so fast.
There are other interesting places other than kl. Beaches and highlands are quite nice to be. As for the hot weather, wait till Siberia starts blowing at the end of the year.
Yeah, most Westerners have no idea of how enervating tropical heat can be. The cities (metal and concrete) are the worst because they hold the heat and turn into veritable furnaces. I have been in the Philippines for over ten years, and I totally understand. It's like Florida in July - all year.
You are always welcome to Kuala Lumpur, the city in the heart of Malaysia. If u come again i suggest u travel all around Malaysia include East Malaysia also known as Malaysian Borneo. Malaysia has 13 states n 3 Federal Territories which each states have their own culture n tradition as well as cuisine represent of each states. A multicultural n multiracial people of various ethnicities live together in peace n harmony. Our diversify of cultures makes Malaysia known as place of food lover's haven. Thank you n i appreciate your kind words about Malaysia. May God Bless.
Malaysia don't have burning season like Thailand or Indonesia. But sometimes get effected by their activities. With modern infrastructure and cheapest in world, cant find anywhere.
😅TQVM SIR FOR APPRECIATING OUR COUNTRY..VERY FEW PEOPLE USUALLY DO THAT . THEY USUALLY LOOK FOR NEGATIVE THINGS TO COMMENT .. HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME AND PLEASE COME BACK WITH FAMILY NEXT VISIT .COD BLESS .
Its been very hot for the past 2 years . I believe due to global warming . It wasnt that hot during covid period . But one thing is KL has the highest rainfall among the capital cities in Asean . Would you believe that ?
As a Canadian traveling in KL who eats Mostly Western food there are lots of great Western restaurants but eating western food will cost you around 15 dollars a meal for high quality western food per meal. Still less than in Canada.
It gets rough out here in South East Asia. I went to Thailand and it was 36°C every day. I genuinely didn't enjoy the heat. I couldn't do anything during the day. I live in hong kong where it is still less than 30°C each day but it's about to get uncomfortable soon. I'm not looking forward to that
Our temperature has always been about 31 degrees but past few months has been super hot. Even we Malaysians can’t take this extreme heat, we are not use to this weather. We want our old temperature back 🥲
If you're still here please stay away from large trees during or after thunderstorms, so many fallen trees from the turbulent urban winds it's unprecedented. The weather has been extreme of late; it's either blistering hot or total deluge. I was pretty much a city girl 30 years ago and would roam all over KL on foot. Knew all the shortcuts and best hangouts. Back then it was still pleasant walking around even during the warmer spells. I couldn't do that now it's just too hot. So happy you've had some good time in my country. Do come back for visits if you feel you need to break away from the Canadian long winters 😊
I rarely open a/c through out the year but for the past month and this month.. My electricity bill is rocket to sky cos the weather is damn hot. It's humid and burning.. I dont even think of going anywhere outside.. It's too hot.. Wear white shirt is better than black too..
Hi Bro, My first caught up with you was when you showed the video of Miri, Sarawak. Very honest comments covering the Miri City centre. There are many more places that need a car drive to reach. I will follow your travel video closely. You are always welcome back for a more detail ecotour of Sarawak. Thank you.
Reasons being in uk not because of weather but work...now retired..we go back to malaysia yearly..and british cold...damp weather isn't all that great...
True, it's hot. Here is how I cope: Early mornings, evenings and nights are fine. Many cool Highlands nearby. Inside the jungle the temperature drops immediately. Three months rainy season, still with daily blue sky, are a blessing.
The heat of a heat absorbing concrete jungle like KL will be a lot warmer than the forested shaded jungles of the rest of Malaysia. And the highland parts of Malaysia are cooler. I remember experiencing excessive heat in the concrete jungle of Iquitos, Peru. Just about an hour outside of the city, in small community, which was a forested area lacking concrete, I noticed a drop in temperature, making it bearable to walk during the day.
You just need to get through 3 months of minimal aircon and training your body. That's what I did and after that I was fine with the humidity and the heat. Started with just an hour or 2 outside in the heat and gradually progressed until I could handle a full day without ac not long after that it was just the normal weather.
Similar to here in the Caribbean. The feels like is around 37C. Growing up a very hot day was around 27°C, now that's the temperature at night. An average day is around 33°C and we find it unbearable.
Even you earn in Ringgit, the food still affordable! With RM10 you can get proper food! In Australia, you only can get proper food around AUD20 (RM60) and above!
Bro, its really true. I am 51 now but when I was in school, we need to wait for the Bus in the early mornings to pick us up and many days you would be shivering because of the cold.
@@KouroshKamyabi It has always been humid, I mean we are a Peninsular with seas on most sides and a narrow strip, what has gone up is the temperature alone I think. I mean I been to India where it is also hot in the South states but its dry and not that humid so you tend to sweat less even though its hot.
I am a Malaysian living in Toronto for the last 20 years and coming back to KL/Penang next week. The last thing I want to hear is how hot the weather is in Malaysia. It is 24 degree and feels like 29 degree right now in Toronto and I am already topless. After watching this video, I feel for you, bro and prompting me to stay back and refund my air ticket if it is possible, hahaha. But then I get to enjoy the delicious Malaysian food. When it is -15 degree in the winter, we yearn for the hot weather, next week when I am in KL, I will beg for spring weather 21 to 24 degree. Life is a bitch, hehe.
I am a Malaysian living in Toronto for over 40 years. I will always go back to visit my mom at the end of the year during the rainy season when the weather is not as hot & humid. But after 2 weeks I will tell my wife I am leaving because I couldn’t stand the hot weather. It’s no fun ending up inside an AC building everyday. And I am usually back for at least 2 to 3 months. But then, it’s nice to escape the cold winter months. Go figure.
Mate, KL is surrounded by tall buildings made of concrete and Glass for miles n miles in any direction / or I say any Huge Cities have high Carbon emission which is a fact, thats why I suggest to move Greener part of Malaysia. Malaysia is Amazing, loved to move there permanently. By the Way, I am a Kiwi aka New Zealander, happy for you to visit NZ. One of the most beautiful places on the planet.
If you can't stand Malaysian weather which is average 24-27 C Night and morning, and rising to 29-35 C noon time. This year for the first time in 26 years Malaysia and the region experiencing heat wave and some part of Malaysia reached 40 C but not more than that. Have you ever been to any Malaysian highlands such as Genting Highland or Cameron Highlands where you can cool down yourself where the night weather 14-19 C and day time around 20-25 C. Try to experience it during summer in the Gulf Countries included Dubai, UAE or Saudi Arabia which can go up to 50 C as I ever experienced it while I was working there, and average is 40-42 C and very rarely go below 30 C except during winter around 19-25 C.
Genting is great weather! But in the last two months it hasn’t been 24-27 at night in KL ever. Even if it says 28-29 if you look at what it feels like it will always be over 30 no matter what.
@@KouroshKamyabi Dubai in June is better than July-Aug. It gets so hot, up into the 50s, that they have to close the swim areas because the sea water is too hot for swimming and dangerous! Boil you like a frog!
I left kl for UK 4 decades ago and lately for annual holiday for a month. Yes, it was very hot and diizzy. Hence, i planned, stayed at hotels near bukit bintang and return around 1pm for rest and shower and out again. I bought the hat to protect from sun when visited Brunei, Kota kinabalu and kucing last year. I was in Singapore again and hate their Metro system where i have to walk long distance underground to take the train. I suppose like london that I left decades ago and now living in the countryside. Though Autumn about 13C now, I enjoy outdoor with mad natives here. We have 200 acres jungle preserved over hundreds years, I was fortunate and saw deer twice. In Spring, I hears the birds waking me up about 3.30am if I go to the living room. Also the foxes family but now quiet.
Where I live, we enjoy 110 degree days for 4 straight months. One year, it stayed at 115 for 3 weeks! So for me 33° would be very do-able. Malaysia here I come😄😄
What , Its hot here? No no no , we have air cond malls no worry. And just stay in the shade its windy too and sometimes occasional rain. Lastly you can take a bath early in the morning.
Funny that European tourists come to South East Asia to avoid their cold winter. They find the heat in SEAsia too intense, but love the food and casualness.
We don’t have too cold winters! But the days are so short, and it rains, storms all the times. 20 years ago we had winters with snow and cold months but now climate has changed
I feel so envious, after living in Northeast US for many years, restaurant food costs hit all time high, tastes non impressive. The limited fast food selections are also costly, taste poor to awful!
I've been in KL since February and love it for all the same reasons you do - but yeah the heat (more the humidity) is pretty brutal. So grateful my airbnb has great and quiet aircon, so it's not in my face. I do miss walking around though - any more than 10-15 mins outside and I'm seeking out aircon!! Still love KL though, it's amazing!!! So many beautiful people here, I love it.
The cost of living in Canada is steadily increasing, mate. Eventually, you may have to prioritize where you plan to live, with the weather becoming a secondary consideration.
@@Smiler2724 Canada's natural beauty is truly captivating, and although the weather may remain tolerable, the escalating cost of living is increasingly burdensome for individuals with average incomes. The allure of Canada's landscapes and opportunities is juxtaposed with the financial strain faced by many residents, highlighting the growing disparity between the country's appeal and the practicalities of everyday life for those on moderate earnings.
Planning for 2025 to spend 2 months on the Cameron Highlands with a rented place. I was born in Malaysia and like you said- 20-30 degrees with low humidity is all I can tolerate. I still prefer my Canada weather with low humidity. I hate air conditioning- opting for fan and fresh air. Welcome back to Canada. Almost 50 years in Canada, 2024 is the best summer yet.
I Indiana it runs most times 90-110 from May to sometimes Sept, these days. We don’t even get snow for real in Nov-March. It can be in the 70-80 range, now. It’s WILD❗️
Malaysia being close to Equatorial - a tropical countries - means hot and humid - and for sure - it's unpleasant and make you sweating all day long - so in seasonal country hot and dry it's pleasant

@@KouroshKamyabi , The humidity is terrible.
Hi, is Malaysia worth moving to under MM2H visa?
@@lonewalker1595 , It is humid if u don't mind the weather. You have the mountains that is pretty cool and driving distance from the city ( easy transportation ), safe, lots of expats community, golf, good and reasonable food, English speaking, rental accomodation is fantastic. I travelled around the world, I feel u need to live there for at least 6 months and then decide.
@@judymckee5992 so for six months, under what visa should I consider coming?
P.S: no issues about temperature. Hot weather suits me.
Also, as an expat, you can't vote or open up your business. This should be possible!
I’m from USA but I love staying in Malaysia. Except weather which is too hot and humid. I love everything about Malaysia.
Its called Tropicals.
5 years ago yg lecturer from USA said thar she loves our weather so much: hot n rain. Nothing to expect. If in her country, she can’t do nothing during winter. Malaysian thinks play with the snow is great!
Its been over 40 degrees in central California for over a month now. But compared to Malaysia, we have 10x or more cost of living, high taxes, poor infrastructure, expensive healthcare, and crime everywhere. I would still move. If it gets too hot, take a vacation!
Wow! I didn’t realize it gets that hot there.
Our saving grace here in the valley is we don't have near the humidity of Malaysia.
Malaysia weather is the same all year around, 33~34 degrees with a chance of rain, and you never know when it is going to rain. I read my weather app, it said it was going to rain in the morning, so I stayed home, and it did not rain, afternoon when it was not supposed to rain, I went shopping, the shopping centre was 5 minute walk away, on my way back I was hit with heavy rain, just a bit over a minute, and I was soaked, just as I reached back my building, the rain stopped. Of course if you drive everywhere that won't be a problem.
@@joseph_weicarry an umbrella with you all the time to protect yourself from getting soaked in heavy rains. Enjoy the rainfall it's a blessing not all people value
Ridiculous
I'm blown away how you spent almost the whole video talking about all the great things you loved there, it's making me reconsider Malaysia as a possible destination, at least a lengthy vacation, but yes, one thing that doesn't suit you can outweigh all the rest. Pity but that's what it is. I hope you're now somewhere you like better!
I got heat stroke in GT Penang. I'm 65 yoa. Thought I had malaria or dengue. Heat stroke kills hundreds of Hajis in KSA every year. It is a serious health issue esp for older men. Malls in KL are a blessing.
Your opinion about people & food is 100% correct!!! We enjoy all kind of Asian cuisine & tropical fruits almost all year round!!!!!!
Some rage though when they see the word dog in Coney dog 😂
Asia is a continent and makasya is not continent, besides you guys have mix foods from all over the world 😊
I don’t eat junk food or foods fried in palm oils. Cheap food is what they offer.
I liked hot rather than cold.. At least make me sweat and do a little exercise walking around burning fat.. Cold weather is always make me sick 🤒.. Nothing i can do during cold winter even cannot go out.. This is just my opinion ya. It's depend on individual perception.. Don't take it seriously or mad at me😁✌️.. Anyway enjoy your stay in Malaysia 🤗
I prefer hot over cold all day!
Just not 35+ degrees and humid hot 😅
Yes, im also like hot weather rather than cold.I used to live in uk long time ago.couldnt do anything during winter n autumn.😊
Prefer hot but yeah sometimes escape and more to indoor activity or go to highland or island 😂
@@KouroshKamyabiYeah, it's the high humidity that's killing us here lol It's just the same day or night, unlike those desert countries where they at least have cooler nights and dry weather instead of humid weather. So all my dreams was to try winter season at least once but I deeply regretted it 😂😂 apparently I pick a wrong country to try the winter season, it was Nepal. Even with bright sun and no snow the cold weather was brutal at just 5°C because the whole country is so high 2000m above sea level. I even got altitude sickness lol
When extreme hot with high humidity is another story,95F with 90% humidity combined u get heat index almost 110F
Obviously, you didn't read the news. Southeast Asia is having a heatwave. This temperature this year is not normal. Our cooler season is between Nov and January but it's rainy season.
The thing is the heatwave became worse every year.
Not true.
Usually, it is around 29 to 30°C only.
Malaysia has normal température
Muslim FANATICS
I’m from south Florida so hopefully it’s an easy transition and the heat and humidity is not an issue.
This is definitely a fair observation. I'm Malaysian, spent half my life in Sarawak and half in KL. Yes the people you spoke to are correct, it was a lot cooler when we were kids in the 80s & 90s. Also KL had a lot more trees. Many of the parks have either been reduced or removed completely, replaced by buildings. How we locals survive - in the city, we walk either in the mornings or evenings only, avoiding midday strolls. We do generally live with primarily live with the windows open and fans on. And lastly a lot of us who can't stand the heat, we will head to the islands, beaches, hills or mountains for cooler weather.
Remember that KL is also in the Klang Valley, meaning it's not just about the evergrowing concrete jungle, the heat is trapped in the valley surrounded by the hills.
2 months is a little too short a time to have a comprehensive look at any country, there are so many states, cultures as ways of living that keep us all here. 70% of the time, the temperature ain't bad at all. But like how winter countries can have harsh cold climate months, we have equally hot melting months too.
Anyways, hope the next time you drop by, stay a little longer. Come visit us Borneo side ❤
Thanks for your comment🙏
Next time I will explore other parts of the country 💯
We are moving from Europe to Kuching in a couple of years. We love it.
@@tinglestingles Welcome to Malaysia 😊
@@aboyahmad1502 Thank you!
@@tinglestingleswe’re planning on doing the same, moving from US to Kuching in next year or two. 🤞
Good luck with your move!
I'm Malaysian, and I can't stand the heat either. I believe most Malaysians are like me.
We have been used to being in air-conditioned spaces since time immemorial, and it's almost inconceivable for us to be without them;
Eat, Work, Play, Travel, Sleep in A/C.
(That is also the reason I don't go to Europe from June to September: the hotels there do not have A/Cs, and the ones that do, set the temperature at 24°C.)
In Malaysia, walking outside is only bearable before 10.00AM or after 6.30PM.
I hope you had a pleasant stay, and good luck with your travels.
Yes I noticed. It’s tough but the country is still amazing.
Thank you for your amazing hospitality 🙏🏼
I lived in Dubai before it’s the same, A/C everywhere. With climate change, areas in Malaysia will get even hotter
@@Sodainspace Climate change is western propangda-lies like so much else.
U must b rich. On aircond 24/7
@@KouroshKamyabi maybe on your future trip, you could try visit Taiping or Kuala Kangsar, these are two district in Perak north from KL… alot more trees…
You’ve hit the nail on the head, bro. I live in Northern California, and I had this romantic notion of one day retiring in a peaceful Islamic country like Malaysia since I had heard so many good things about it. In the November December timeframe of 2012 I came to Kuala Lumpur for about two weeks to check it out. I loved everything about it. The people places cuisine culture, but just couldn’t believe how hot and humid it was even in December. I asked the locals if it’s cooler in summer like some sort of upside down weather pattern, but I was sadly disappointed to hear that that’s when the real summer hits in June through September. That quickly changed my mind about thinking of making Malaysia a second home for myself.
I thought I was just a little too weak living in humidity free cooler environment. It’s good to know. I’m not alone and I’m not crazy. 😅
I love the climate so it's horses for courses
Gosh..Born , bred and still living in Malaysia yet I hate hate hate the weather. Especially sweating after a shower feels nasty. I don’t think I will ever get acclimatized to the weather 😅😅 It’s true, growing up it wasn’t this hot & humid. The weather had changed drastically for the worst past few years .
I lived in KL for about 4 years. I loved it but know what you mean with the weather. Moving from aircon to aircon got tedious at times. I did get used to being outside, but never felt 100% comfortable in this climate.
I do have to say we used to live a bit elevated where we had the occasional colder breeze. I remember in the months of November and December we had mornings were swimming in the pool felt very cold (it actually was 19 degrees at 8 am at some point, so it was actually cold). This was back in 2011 or something.
I now do holidays in counties like Sweden and Northern Italy. Especially in the Alps it is the perfect weather for us. Sunny but usually only about 25 degrees....though this last summer we had a heat wave with temperatures of over 30 degrees at 2500mtr height....made me think of Malaysia again :).
I live in Dubai. it was 45 C today. And humidity can go up to 85 % . It reaches up to over 50 celcious during summer time . Malaysia weather is so cold for me ! LOL
October till may is pretty good weather in Dubai
@@KouroshKamyabi true, but those are the high seasons when Dubai becomes very expensive for accommodation!
Terima Kasih for having visited Malaysia. Stay happy!
it was an absolute pleasure. thank you for the amazing experience, I love Malaysia. 🙏
Agree about not being able to hang out outside comfortably. The humidity is the thing. It was much more drier and cooler when I was a kid in the early 70s in a town that is now a city with 1/2 mil people . The morning air was really cold and there was dew on the grass. Back then we had only 10 mil people now we have 33 mil. Put it down to population and industrialization. One has to be a real authentic enthusiast of trees, herbs, fruits etc that make our food and medicine to really love it here. Like I cant live well without the tropical fruits like pineapple, mangoes, the very many varieties of bananas and plantains, rambutans, mangosteens etc, etc. Goodluck and best wishes. Thank you for all the compliments that you have showered unto Msia.
Many people have told me the exact same thing.
Thank you and I will be back soon ✌🏼🇲🇾
November to December are definitely cooler. You happen to be here during the 2 hottest months of the year, April and May. Get a dehumidifier or turn on the AC in dry mode when at home.
I've always recommended to friends that Malaysia is the best place to start if youre exploring SEA for the first time. It gets pretty hardcore beyond Malaysia. The humidity is a challenge, my siblings in Dublin changed their minds after two weeks of pondering on migrating when they visited last year. The rapid growth of KL has kinda caused a heat trap scenario. 😂
Thailand is the best country to visit to explore SEA for the first time. The second country is the Philippines. I am a gay Lithuanian man and I will never visit Malaysia because the people in that country don't accept gays, lesbians, and transgender people. When I go to Thailand and the Philippines, I am very happy because I have lots of fun with the gay men and the transgender women. I always carry a bottle of Viagra with me and I use it often and have lots of fun and experience good times.
I just returned from two beautiful neighbouring country and their hot weather is so much hot if not worst than in Kuala Lumpur its such a relief to be back, shaded trees are every where in KL in comparison to another city. Just walk into any air condition walkway, shops, shopping centres, offices, blocks restaurants, apartments, buildings, are everywhere. We in KL say we just cannot like the sun, sunshine and expect everything nice, cooling and warm...its not but the sun is hot. Many westerner wear the wrong cloths or garment materials in KL. Suits and thick T shirts wont work in sunny KL..
Yet even Malaysians prefered to be suited and “tied-up” crossing streets and walking on hot pavements
Respect and love to Malaysia! ❤❤
Reminds me of my arrival in Malaysia when stepping out of the air-conditioned Airport. Just felt like a hot rush of air passing by me and enveloping me at the same time. I was also exiting into a sort of bus terminus and thought it was the fumes of a bus driving past me and was still looking for this imaginary bus. That was about 25 years ago and hope to go back one day.
It’s worse now, I’m afraid
Yes.. the weather has changed a lot the world over but it shouldn't stop you from coming back.
It won’t stop me from coming back 🙏🏻🇲🇾❤️
We visited Malaysia in October and it rained in late afternoon almost every day, which helped with the heat. I agree with everything else that you mentioned about Malaysia including food, transportation, shopping, security, and modern amenities. Try it agin in a couple years and the heat might be more tolerable then. Too much construction/ many concrete buildings can cause the temperature in the city to stay high too. Thanks
2024 could be Malaysia's hottest year and during the past few months, there was a heat wave resulting from the el Nino phenomenon.
😊went Malaysia this year, I agree with all your points. Nice food, nice people
I agree with you, I too could not stand the heat. i was there for three weeks, and could not wait to get away from the heat. I am a Malaysian and glad to be back in cold climate.
For walking most locals only do that within say from 6 am to 11 am . After 11 am no more going out until it rains or near 6 pm you just stay in AC buildings for work or malls. Its a bit more lively after dark and also a lot cooler. I mean in public places the AC is free.
Mall AC is a lifesaver 🙏🏻
Totally agreed
YET, there's a guy who made a video at KLIA Departure and asked the tourist, they said "it's ok but it's very hard to find alcohol" I was like, did you book a Mosque for the entire stay in KL? It's EVERYWHERE! Even the tiny shop, Chinese shop, it's EVERYWHERE, and all the delicious food, night market, museums, shopping mall (not about the luxury thing) perhaps your country is cheaper, it's the interior, the food in Kampung Baru, is Authentic Malaysian mix Indonesian delicious food, and seriously in your mind is the ALCOHOL?
yeah. cases of dui of alcohol is lot even taking lives but hard to get alcohol? sure crazy havoc alcohol party will get you into troubles because this country majority is muslim but alcohol is almost everywhere on west side of peninsular like kl, penang,malacca and other tourist spot. if on the east side of peninsular just go to chinese or indian shop or hotel resorts. just a reminder to tourist never to cause a scene while you DRUNK, or you will attract mobs 5km around like a hungry mosquito. peoples are bit passive but just the word drunken troublemaker will tick them off so bad. if alcohol is the main agenda, then malaysia is not your destination although its everywhere here.
Thank you for your honest Assessment and vision comment and really curious to know the reason of you leaving soon that relief my curiosity than. Wish you all the best on your undertaking and pray for your safety. You're always welcome!! Take care 👏
April and May are generally the hottest months of the year in Malaysia. Come back at the end of the year, it will be slightly better.
I spoke with so many people and they all pretty much said it’s the same temperature everyday.
I will try again during the cooler months to see how it is. 🙏🏻🇲🇾
@@KouroshKamyabi cooler months is usually November to January, but in those months it rains heavily almost everyday, monsoon season.
This year is a lot hotter… because of the heatwave in this region this year… usually it is not this hot, yes it is hot the whole year but not like now… probably due to climate change as well
@@KouroshKamyabi global warming dude. The weather is getting crazy. Try to go to Thailand, over there is hotter and more humid than Malaysia. I can't event stand the heat.
Yes bro in Thailand and Indonesia also more hot, This is normal, we Malaysians prefer heat to cold, but we Malaysians can endure the 35 degree weather,@@juneadmodisastro1310
Young man, your assessment of our country is true with regards to food and the beautiful people that we have. In terms of affordability, when you talk in terms of dollars, everything becomes cheap. But we don't earn in dollars here. Everything is expensive for us. As of recent surveys and statistical analysis, the average monthly salary in Malaysia is estimated to be around RM 3,000 to RM 3,500 (approximately USD 640 to USD 750). This average monthly salary also reflects the gross income, meaning it is the amount before deductions such as income tax, social security, and other potential contributions are made. So, make your own calculation on how a family can live on that amount.
As I spoke with some Moroccan people. Yes, they paid around $380 rent but that is actually what they brought home for the month. Just as I pay $1100 in US but if I didn’t work two jobs..that is what I also would bring home for the month!🌸
What is the average pay in Malaysia?
As a local, I agree with your observation, i.e cost is cheaper for those earnings in US or Euros, and the heat is getting higher compared to 30 years ago
Based on many of the comments, people think im lying 😂
Yeah, just a few years ago, the weather was not this hot.even malaysian can't handle it. School students are given optionals to wear t shirt because of it.
When i was in saudi arabia for a month, the temperature was higher but not humid.i still can handle it.but when i first go back to malaysia, the hot plus humid suffocates me and takes time to adapt.
It’s tough for sure!
Except mussie kids- wrapped upnin sweaty things
I have been traveling the world since I was 18 years old, I am 47 now and still traveling .. Been to many countries , lived in four different countries , been to Malaysia four times already and I have to admit Malaysian people are the nicest, kindest and most real people I have ever met .. Second is the people of Iran .. Greetings from Alanya, Turkey !
Thank you Abi 🙏🏻🫡
I visited a couple of years ago, and I fully agree with you. The weather is just too humid for me as well.
I am Malaysian. Very proud of my country. You are right, our high class hotel rates is extremely affordable which many foreigners are unaware. Please visit Malaysia again.
Thank you! 🇲🇾🙏
Hi, is it worth moving to Malaysia under MM2H visa?
I think you shouldn’t leave 😊 Vlogging in Malaysia is so nice and people so friendly 👍
Hope that you have had a good time and a pleasant stay throughout your days in KL, Malaysia. What a wonderful video.
Thank you Yasin 🙏
@@KouroshKamyabi Thank you too. 😀
Why I left Malaysia. I lived in KL for a year in the Seri Kembangan area near The Mines, and as a white foreigner, the looks I used to get from non-Malaysians (Arabs) were horrendous, I did not feel safe. The heat is horrendous. There are electric/thunderstorms most days. I acquired 4 mosquito bites a day. The taxis are the worst in the world, my experience was that the Indian drivers would refuse to take you where you wanted to go, if they did not want to go there; I got a taxi to a shopping mall in the Cheras area, the driver dropped me off on the motorway, when I complained he punched me. There is a "sin tax" on pork and alcohol. Corruption is rife. All roads in and around KL are are gridlocked. Apart from the express train between KLIA and KL Sentral, the public transport is terrible, that's why the roads are gridlocked so be prepared to spend hours travelling short distances. If you want to live in Malaysia I would recommend the KL centre or Mont Kiara. If you cant stand the heat, move to the Genting Highlands. As for a pecking order and racism, it is also rife.
It's the global El Nino phenomenon. No where is safe now... that's the sad reality. Here we are experiencing hot weather while the other part of the world, tornadoes, tsunami, mega landslide, super flood, meteor showers etc...mother nature is really upset now. 😢
Crazy times 🤪
That's why we always remember our creator so that we know how small we are in this world...
It's upset be cuz of ppl sins , mother nature cannot handle corruptions unjustly going on earth
typical Canadians, hot = 25-30.
room temperature is at 32. so hot should be above 32.
Room temperature is not 32 😂
True that most expat foreigners will find Malaysia affordable due to relatively strong foreign currencies. Unfortunately Malaysian wages are stagnant as we get swamped by cheap foreign labours. Hence while expats are drawn to affordable living here, many Malaysians are leaving for better opportunities elsewhere
Thanks you for spending 2 months in Malaysia. You're right about the temperature nowadays is much hotter compared to 20-30 years ago. During my school days I was told than the average temperature in Malaysia is 27 degrees Celcius. But nowadays I saw that the temperature is almost 33 degrees for almost every single day.
Many people have told me back in the day they used to wake up to very cool mornings in KL
@@KouroshKamyabiYes, all houses didnt hv any ac by then😊
SEA is always hot and humid with sun directly over head.
If you are from Northern Hemisphere, you will melt in the heat.
Other side of that is I can stand outside in polo shirt at 3°C and be perfectly comfortable while others are freezing.
It is hot and humid, but having lived in El Paso, the heat is nothing. The high humidity days can be oppressive, but I've acclimated better than I thought possible. As long as I am not in direct sunlight (use an umbrella), I feel fine most of the time.
Yessss, i told soo many of my australian and western friends that SEA heat is HORRIBLE! And they keep saying i prefer hot i hate the cold i hate wearing jacket. Yea how bout extreme sticky sweaty armpit and groin every single time u want to enjoy a 10m walk along a fcking park. Sweat just make everything worst and the heat is just exhausting.
IMO Australia has GREAT weather 🇦🇺🙏🏻
A fantastic review.. Very sincere and Real.. Malaysia is a fantastic country to live in... You've said it all.. Thank You..
Thank you my friend! 🙏🏼
It’s an amazing country all around and I’ll recommend it to everyone looking for a home in SEA.
It's really frustrating to me that most of the best parts of the planet to live currently may be uninhabitable for my grandkids. I want to get my young kids out of the US and I am wondering if we should just start the first settlement in Antarctica at this point. Or like the middle of nowhere in Canada. But I'd really like to take them somewhere with culture and KL seems like the best place on the planet for cost vs quality, it is really scary it is warming so fast.
Well articulated and rounded presentation
KL high temperature is 32-33 C. Seldom 35 C and very seldom 36 Celcius. Only very humid, making it not comfortable.
Did you ever visit the much cooler Cameron Highlands ( in the mountains ). Worth a visit !
Only went to Genting, it was great.
There are other interesting places other than kl. Beaches and highlands are quite nice to be. As for the hot weather, wait till Siberia starts blowing at the end of the year.
Yeah, most Westerners have no idea of how enervating tropical heat can be. The cities (metal and concrete) are the worst because they hold the heat and turn into veritable furnaces. I have been in the Philippines for over ten years, and I totally understand. It's like Florida in July - all year.
You are always welcome to Kuala Lumpur, the city in the heart of Malaysia. If u come again i suggest u travel all around Malaysia include East Malaysia also known as Malaysian Borneo. Malaysia has 13 states n 3 Federal Territories which each states have their own culture n tradition as well as cuisine represent of each states. A multicultural n multiracial people of various ethnicities live together in peace n harmony. Our diversify of cultures makes Malaysia known as place of food lover's haven. Thank you n i appreciate your kind words about Malaysia. May God Bless.
I get you. You will never get used to Malaysia’s humidity. And thats the reason why it is not pedestrian friendly.
Malaysia don't have burning season like Thailand or Indonesia. But sometimes get effected by their activities. With modern infrastructure and cheapest in world, cant find anywhere.
lol wtf are you talking about
Cheapest in the world? Try Indonesia bro. You compare the price in your country with Indonesia
😅TQVM SIR FOR APPRECIATING OUR COUNTRY..VERY FEW PEOPLE USUALLY DO THAT . THEY USUALLY LOOK FOR NEGATIVE THINGS TO COMMENT .. HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME AND PLEASE COME BACK WITH FAMILY NEXT VISIT .COD BLESS .
@@Aliphatic sssshhhhh dont tell to many people 🤣
What is cheapest in the world? What is the average pay in Malaysia?
It's amazing how we think alike about the weather as Canadians!
🫡🇨🇦
Its been very hot for the past 2 years . I believe due to global warming . It wasnt that hot during covid period . But one thing is KL has the highest rainfall among the capital cities in Asean . Would you believe that ?
As a Canadian traveling in KL who eats Mostly Western food there are lots of great Western restaurants but eating western food will cost you around 15 dollars a meal for high quality western food per meal. Still less than in Canada.
Awesome video. Thank u so much brother. Just might move there now in sha Allaah.
Brings back good memories seeing the places you were recording in. Was there a few weeks back too!
It gets rough out here in South East Asia. I went to Thailand and it was 36°C every day. I genuinely didn't enjoy the heat. I couldn't do anything during the day. I live in hong kong where it is still less than 30°C each day but it's about to get uncomfortable soon. I'm not looking forward to that
Way too hot! Anything between 23-30 is perfect for me.
It was already 41.1°C here in Texas
Damn!!
If you go asia is hot countries but if u go to others countries like Canada is cold in winter harshly. You have to be patience
@@KouroshKamyabi drink 100 plus if u feel hydrated
Our temperature has always been about 31 degrees but past few months has been super hot. Even we Malaysians can’t take this extreme heat, we are not use to this weather. We want our old temperature back 🥲
A time machine would fix all of this.
If you're still here please stay away from large trees during or after thunderstorms, so many fallen trees from the turbulent urban winds it's unprecedented. The weather has been extreme of late; it's either blistering hot or total deluge.
I was pretty much a city girl 30 years ago and would roam all over KL on foot. Knew all the shortcuts and best hangouts. Back then it was still pleasant walking around even during the warmer spells. I couldn't do that now it's just too hot.
So happy you've had some good time in my country. Do come back for visits if you feel you need to break away from the Canadian long winters 😊
Count yourself lucky. Most Malaysians like me had to work under the hot weather and oppressive humidity, Grab and lorry drivers included!
Moroccan are idiots, don't respect the people and the culture...white African bastards
I feel bad for them.
Working outside in 35+ degree weather sounds deadly.
You can easily blend in with the locals. You look Muslim or East Indian.
I rarely open a/c through out the year but for the past month and this month.. My electricity bill is rocket to sky cos the weather is damn hot. It's humid and burning.. I dont even think of going anywhere outside.. It's too hot.. Wear white shirt is better than black too..
Hi Bro, My first caught up with you was when you showed the video of Miri, Sarawak. Very honest comments covering the Miri City centre. There are many more places that need a car drive to reach. I will follow your travel video closely. You are always welcome back for a more detail ecotour of Sarawak.
Thank you.
Which video is that?
Reasons being in uk not because of weather but work...now retired..we go back to malaysia yearly..and british cold...damp weather isn't all that great...
True, it's hot. Here is how I cope:
Early mornings, evenings and nights are fine.
Many cool Highlands nearby.
Inside the jungle the temperature drops immediately.
Three months rainy season, still with daily blue sky, are a blessing.
The heat of a heat absorbing concrete jungle like KL will be a lot warmer than the forested shaded jungles of the rest of Malaysia. And the highland parts of Malaysia are cooler.
I remember experiencing excessive heat in the concrete jungle of Iquitos, Peru. Just about an hour outside of the city, in small community, which was a forested area lacking concrete, I noticed a drop in temperature, making it bearable to walk during the day.
Genting has AMAZING weather 🔥
I love Malaysia. A part of me would love to live there but the heat is indeed a bit of a problem for me too.
You just need to get through 3 months of minimal aircon and training your body. That's what I did and after that I was fine with the humidity and the heat. Started with just an hour or 2 outside in the heat and gradually progressed until I could handle a full day without ac not long after that it was just the normal weather.
Similar to here in the Caribbean. The feels like is around 37C. Growing up a very hot day was around 27°C, now that's the temperature at night. An average day is around 33°C and we find it unbearable.
Even you earn in Ringgit, the food still affordable! With RM10 you can get proper food! In Australia, you only can get proper food around AUD20 (RM60) and above!
Same in Canada.
A decent shawarma wrap is $13-$15 without drink/fries.
@@KouroshKamyabi C$15 = RM52. In My, u can have king's meal for rm52

Which is hotter, Malaysia or Houston?
@@yannip2083 In summer time (jApr to Oct or Nov) Houston in my opinion. Regards
SEA countries are hot and humid brother. Perhaps u should check before you decide to stay long here.
BUT everything else is AMAZING
Bro, its really true. I am 51 now but when I was in school, we need to wait for the Bus in the early mornings to pick us up and many days you would be shivering because of the cold.
Many people have told me the same stories!
Only a few have said it’s always been hot and humid all day and night.
@@KouroshKamyabi It has always been humid, I mean we are a Peninsular with seas on most sides and a narrow strip, what has gone up is the temperature alone I think. I mean I been to India where it is also hot in the South states but its dry and not that humid so you tend to sweat less even though its hot.
I am a Malaysian living in Toronto for the last 20 years and coming back to KL/Penang next week. The last thing I want to hear is how hot the weather is in Malaysia. It is 24 degree and feels like 29 degree right now in Toronto and I am already topless. After watching this video, I feel for you, bro and prompting me to stay back and refund my air ticket if it is possible, hahaha. But then I get to enjoy the delicious Malaysian food. When it is -15 degree in the winter, we yearn for the hot weather, next week when I am in KL, I will beg for spring weather 21 to 24 degree. Life is a bitch, hehe.
Oh bro compared to Toronto it is on FIRE 🔥😅
I am a Malaysian living in Toronto for over 40 years. I will always go back to visit my mom at the end of the year during the rainy season when the weather is not as hot & humid. But after 2 weeks I will tell my wife I am leaving because I couldn’t stand the hot weather. It’s no fun ending up inside an AC building everyday. And I am usually back for at least 2 to 3 months. But then, it’s nice to
escape the cold winter months. Go figure.
Mate, KL is surrounded by tall buildings made of concrete and Glass for miles n miles in any direction / or I say any Huge Cities have high Carbon emission which is a fact, thats why I suggest to move Greener part of Malaysia. Malaysia is Amazing, loved to move there permanently. By the Way, I am a Kiwi aka New Zealander, happy for you to visit NZ. One of the most beautiful places on the planet.
NZ is another planet i would say, it just imaginary, in a good way.
Excelent.
Where u moving now?
If you can't stand Malaysian weather which is average 24-27 C Night and morning, and rising to 29-35 C noon time. This year for the first time in 26 years Malaysia and the region experiencing heat wave and some part of Malaysia reached 40 C but not more than that. Have you ever been to any Malaysian highlands such as Genting Highland or Cameron Highlands where you can cool down yourself where the night weather 14-19 C and day time around 20-25 C.
Try to experience it during summer in the Gulf Countries included Dubai, UAE or Saudi Arabia which can go up to 50 C as I ever experienced it while I was working there, and average is 40-42 C and very rarely go below 30 C except during winter around 19-25 C.
Genting is great weather!
But in the last two months it hasn’t been 24-27 at night in KL ever.
Even if it says 28-29 if you look at what it feels like it will always be over 30 no matter what.
I experienced Dubai in June and it was hell on earth 🥵
@@KouroshKamyabi Dubai in June is better than July-Aug. It gets so hot, up into the 50s, that they have to close the swim areas because the sea water is too hot for swimming and dangerous! Boil you like a frog!
I left kl for UK 4 decades ago and lately for annual holiday for a month. Yes, it was very hot and diizzy. Hence, i planned, stayed at hotels near bukit bintang and return around 1pm for rest and shower and out again. I bought the hat to protect from sun when visited Brunei, Kota kinabalu and kucing last year. I was in Singapore again and hate their Metro system where i have to walk long distance underground to take the train. I suppose like london that I left decades ago and now living in the countryside. Though Autumn about 13C now, I enjoy outdoor with mad natives here. We have 200 acres jungle preserved over hundreds years, I was fortunate and saw deer twice. In Spring, I hears the birds waking me up about 3.30am if I go to the living room. Also the foxes family but now quiet.
I'm glad you've had a good time here in KL. If you miss KL, you can always come back.
If you feel hot can go Genting or Cameron Highland then back to KL. 😊😊😊
I went! Felt amazing 🙏🏻
If I had my way, I'd get a house there. The Cameron Highlands was by far my favourite part of the country!
So where are you going that's the ideal temperature 🤔
Where I live, we enjoy 110 degree days for 4 straight months. One year, it stayed at 115 for 3 weeks! So for me 33° would be very do-able. Malaysia here I come😄😄
What , Its hot here? No no no , we have air cond malls no worry. And just stay in the shade its windy too and sometimes occasional rain. Lastly you can take a bath early in the morning.
2 months is not enough time to assess a country. Basically, it's a traveller who got his 3 months tourist visa and left after 2 months. Good for you
Funny that European tourists come to South East Asia to avoid their cold winter. They find the heat in SEAsia too intense, but love the food and casualness.
To be fair, most of Europe has decent winters compared to Canada😅
We don’t have too cold winters! But the days are so short, and it rains, storms all the times. 20 years ago we had winters with snow and cold months but now climate has changed
I feel so envious, after living in Northeast US for many years, restaurant food costs hit all time high, tastes non impressive. The limited fast food selections are also costly, taste poor to awful!
Hi, nice video ! What about a "good weather 25-30° C " affordable countries video ?
I actually have no idea.
In my opinion SoCal has the best weather I’ve experienced but it’s really expensive to live there.
@@KouroshKamyabi Thats South California i guess ?
Yes
I've been in KL since February and love it for all the same reasons you do - but yeah the heat (more the humidity) is pretty brutal. So grateful my airbnb has great and quiet aircon, so it's not in my face. I do miss walking around though - any more than 10-15 mins outside and I'm seeking out aircon!! Still love KL though, it's amazing!!! So many beautiful people here, I love it.
Totally agree, it's a beautiful city.
Enjoy your stay in KL 🇲🇾
Well done and informative!
Thank you!
The cost of living in Canada is steadily increasing, mate. Eventually, you may have to prioritize where you plan to live, with the weather becoming a secondary consideration.
You’re right.
When I show people the prices of our real estate they are always in shock.
Canada weather is harsh in winter snow ❄️ but other countries like Asia are hot in summer and raining seasons. You have to be patience
@@Smiler2724 Canada's natural beauty is truly captivating, and although the weather may remain tolerable, the escalating cost of living is increasingly burdensome for individuals with average incomes. The allure of Canada's landscapes and opportunities is juxtaposed with the financial strain faced by many residents, highlighting the growing disparity between the country's appeal and the practicalities of everyday life for those on moderate earnings.
The weather is not a big deal.i used to brace cold winter when living abroad, as time goes by i could settle down without any hassle😊
Planning for 2025 to spend 2 months on the Cameron Highlands with a rented place. I was born in Malaysia and like you said- 20-30 degrees with low humidity is all I can tolerate. I still prefer my Canada weather with low humidity. I hate air conditioning- opting for fan and fresh air. Welcome back to Canada. Almost 50 years in Canada, 2024 is the best summer yet.
I Indiana it runs most times 90-110 from May to sometimes Sept, these days. We don’t even get snow for real in Nov-March. It can be in the 70-80 range, now. It’s WILD❗️
You should wear a UV-rated sun hat. Get them in Decathlon. Also, get a mini umbrella. Problem solved :D cheers! :D
Malaysia being close to Equatorial - a tropical countries - means hot and humid - and for sure - it's unpleasant and make you sweating all day long - so in seasonal country hot and dry it's pleasant
