Langkawi is firmly located in the tropical weather zone with a far sunnier climate than most of Malaysia. These islands enjoy many more dry spells and stable weather for most of the year, mainly because they are well protected on both sides, with the Indonesian Sumatra to the west and Malaysia's mainland to the east. There are two main yacht charter seasons in Langkawi; the South West (wet) or North East (dry) monsoon season, from May to October, and from November to April, respectively. During a wet monsoon, there is slightly more wind, which can make your yacht charter sailing even more thrilling, and during the dry monsoon, lighter wind speeds range from force 2 to 5 from the North East.
