City insight: Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's capital and largest city, in the Klang Valley on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and home to the Petronas Towers. The climate is tropical rainforest: hot, humid and sunny all year, with highs of 32 to 35 C, plentiful rain and frequent thunderstorms, heaviest during the northeast monsoon from October to March. June to August is relatively drier, which makes it the better window to race. Heat and humidity are constant, so early starts are best, and smoke haze from regional fires can affect air quality. Rapid KL rail and bus services connect the city.
