Maliau Basin monthly climate across Sabah’s tropical forest interior and plateau

Maliau Basin’s sampled mean temperature is 23.35 °C in January and 24.78 °C in May. Daily precipitation averages 4.69 mm in March and 9.03 mm in October, while humidity ranges between the cited monthly values of 88.77% in April and 92.50% in December. NASA POWER adds wind and daylight for every month in 1991–2020 at one 429.24 m coordinate; the data is not live weather, a forecast, or a basin-wide measurement.
