Traveller notes on Ipoh in February
Notes from nearby Cameron Highlands (35 km away)
Ipoh doesn't have its own notes for February yet — these are about Cameron Highlands, close enough to share the season.
Cameron Highlands's forum rates February through August as the better stretch, sunny days with genuinely chilly nights thanks to the highland elevation. Regulars put daytime temperatures around 22-25°C up at Brinchang, dropping to 16-19°C after dark — a real jacket earns its place here even though this is Malaysia, a rarity for the country.
