With mostly sunny blue skies and low humidity, these months allow travelers to fully enjoy all of Penang\u2019s outdoor attractions. The average temperature ranges from 22\u00b0C to 34\u00b0C. Many cultural festivals also take place during this summer season in Penang. Some of the big events are Thaipusam, Chinese New Year celebrations, Chap Goh Meh festivities, and the Penang Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.<\/p>\n<p>The months of July and August tend to be wetter with more rainfall and slightly higher heat. While beach lovers can still enjoy the sea and sand during these months, humidity levels may be unpleasant for some. For cultural enthusiasts, the George Town Festival held in July\/August showcases performing arts, photography, and literature. November-February is when Penang receives more rain as the northeast monsoon arrives. But hotel and flight rates are cheaper this low season if you don\u2019t mind occasional storms or showers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Places_to_Visit_in_Penang\"><\/span>Top Places to Visit in Penang<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1.

Staying at a hostel enables meeting other travelers.
