What you gain in November
- ↑Deepavali celebrations (if falling in November) transform Brickfields and Little India — the Festival of Lights is spectacular in the streets with oil lamps and garlands, and the open-house culture means visitors can join family celebrations
- ↑Extremely affordable; prices across accommodation and some tour operators at their annual low
- ↑The hawker food culture doesn't change with weather — Jalan Alor, Imbi Market, and Bangsar remain entirely accessible
What you sacrifice
- ↓5.5 sunshine hours is KL's lowest — persistent cloud cover and rain can dominate a full week without break
- ↓258mm makes this one of the two worst months for outdoor sightseeing; Putrajaya gardens and outdoor day trips are not recommended
- ↓Humidity at 83% — the highest of the year — combined with minimal sunshine creates the most oppressive conditions KL produces
