Langkawi Island offer natural sanctuary from El Nino phenomena.
Last week I took my family to Langkawi just to get away from the scorching heat in my home town Tapah, Perak Malaysia. Langkawi is an island north of Peninsular Malaysia. A very well known tourist island. Two years ago I paid RM600 for a hired car in Langkawi. It's very unfair amount. Recently the government allowed car to be ferried to the island and the car rental now drops to about RM200!!!!!
El Nino phenomena caused a very warm temperature. The Malaysian Ministry of Education will close all the school if the temperature reached 37 centigrade for three consecutive days. Health hazard will be the heat stroke.
I booked a wooden chalet in the tropical rain forest. Surrounded by heavy flora and ornamental trees.
Chalet at the sea side is not conducive to me because of the warm temperature of the sea.
In Langkawi to beat the hot weather you can easily dashed into the swimming pool.
The fresh water lagoon in Tasik Dayang Bunting is another good choice to refresh your body.
Early morning or late evening will best for sea retreat.
Sun bathing is up to you. You dare to sun bathing during el nino?????????? But to some people it's nothing lets have fun in the sun.
Why not just take a stroll along the beautiful seaside and the lovely man made forests in Langkawi.
During this El Nino period even at the top of mount Mat Chinchang is still warm. But for the sake of experiencing the cable car just take the Langkawi Skycab and enjoy the breathtaking ride.
