🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect tropical intensity: daytime highs of +34°C with humidity making it feel like +40°C . September brings the Southwest Monsoon, meaning sudden, heavy downpours are likely between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Dress Code: Light, breathable fabrics (linen/cotton) are essential. However, always carry a sarong or scarf, as temples like Batu Caves and Sri Mahamariamman require shoulders and knees to be covered. Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes for the morning, but waterproof sandals are a lifesaver during afternoon flash floods.
