Here’s a full guide based on local patterns and actual experience—so you can decide with confidence!
Yes, August is part of the wet season, but that doesn’t mean non-stop rain.
In fact, many travelers find the weather very manageable.
🌡️ Average temperature: 24–32°C (75–90°F)
🌦️ Rain pattern: Mostly short, passing showers (tropical "squalls")
🌞 Best time of day: Mornings are often sunny and dry
💧 Humidity: High, but ocean breezes make it more tolerable
If you plan your outdoor activities during the early part of the day,
you’ll enjoy great weather for island hopping, snorkeling, and sightseeing.
To stay comfortable and well-prepared:
Lightweight summer clothing (cotton/linen)
Rain poncho or compact umbrella
Sandals or water shoes
Waterproof phone pouch
Sunscreen & sunglasses
Reusable water bottle
Extra clothes & quick-dry towel
💡 Tip: A small, portable fan or cooling towel can be a lifesaver during mid-day heat.
Join a day trip to Sapi Island or Manukan Island, part of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
The morning sea is usually calm and perfect for snorkeling.
August skies often produce breathtaking sunsets—especially when there’s a mix of clouds and sunlight.
Rainy evenings? No problem. Treat yourself to a massage or enjoy local seafood at Welcome Seafood or Ocean Seafood.
Absolutely.
Even with the occasional rain, Kota Kinabalu in August offers plenty of sunshine and fewer crowds.
Prices for hotels and tours may also be more affordable compared to peak seasons.
Many travelers describe the vibe in August as calm, refreshing, and laid-back—perfect for unwinding.
Plan outdoor activities early in the day
Use flexible itineraries in case of short rain showers
Make use of indoor attractions like local markets, malls, or cafes
