Kuala Lumpur in March
Hot, lively and very tropical
The short answer
March is a good time to visit Kuala Lumpur.
March stays hot and humid while rainfall starts becoming more frequent. It is still a strong month for food, malls, neighbourhoods and nightlife, especially if you are happy to work around tropical showers.
