What to expectKapar through the year
Kapar changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 29 and 30 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Rain is strongly seasonal. November averages 383 mm against 121 mm in June — 3.2 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.
The sea off Kapar is warmest in May at 30 °C and coldest in January at 29 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
