 | Kuala Lumpur Weather, Climate & The Environment Reviews | Tips 11 - 13 of 13 |  |
One problem with Kuala Lumpur is the haze that settles over the region on a fairly regular basis, happening whenever it gets too hot in south east asia. For asthmatics like me, it can be a real hazard, and I always make sure to take an inhaler with me, just in case. It also makes driving nightmarish, and has a nasty tendency to obscure anything that gets more than a medium distance away from you. The entire city will start to smell like a fire.
In all truth, this happens in more than just KL, but I've found it always just seems worse there. I don't know why, but it does. Maybe it's just because I think so well of the city normally and it seems like such a big change. Leave a Comment |
The night view of Eye On Malaysia may be stunning and beautiful, and during a clear night the view of KLCC & city is clearly seen. A walk along or seats beside the lake to enjoy the view is the best way to enjoy the night besides riding on the wheel.
Unless you are on a day time visit, otherwise mosquitoes is an annoying trouble to counter, and it's not fun to have a beautiful view in front and mosquitoes stinging all around your body at the same time, so bring insects repellent. Leave a Comment |
hello there. 1stly, I understand your concern as a mother, on your daughter's wellbeing. Based on the literature out there and personal experience of walking around in kl, the KL haze during august is not as bad as it is thought to be. many other asian cities are having the same problem that time of year, though kl maybe less. In my personal view, there shouldnt be any serious health problem. but she can take precautions eg drinking a lot of water (heat&humidity factor), and have her medications with her at all times. its also good to have her family doctor(GP)prescribe her any anticipatory drug alongside her usual medicine (just in case ie antihistamines inhalers etc).
A friend from ireland with a bad asthma came to malaysia a few years ago, although took her a day or so to acclimatize, she did very well in our weather.
Plus, KL is a big city, with a lot of public n private healthcare available and accessible by many. i would be more worried if she's in the more rural area of malaysia. there are many walk-in clinics, and quite a lot in kl, 24hr ones avaiable should she find herself in trouble.
and KL has a lot of airconditioned buildings.Malls, hotels, restaurant, so many that one can go about in kl without even exposed to the hot humid air.
wow, im rambling too much. in short, ure not worrying unnecessarily. its a justifiable concern. like any mother would. Im sure she'll do fine. she will do great.
hope this helps.
cheers |
