Penang 2026 lodging heat

20262027

Penang shows a fairly mild monthly swing: sample heat runs higher around Jul, Sep, Dec, softer around Aug, Oct–Nov (monthly sample means about 1.0–1.4). Hari Raya, school holidays and island wet/dry seasons all play in. Index ≈ each hotel’s off-peak baseline—not a live city-wide rate.
