Where is Penang?
The reference point rooozt uses for Penang is George Town, at latitude 5.4112, longitude 100.3354. Measured as a straight line across the Earth's surface, Penang lies about 930 km south of Bangkok. Penang is a coastal destination in rooozt's own destination data. Every distance on this page is a great-circle distance between coordinates — not road distance, and not travel time.
Coordinates come from the GeoNames database (CC BY 4.0). A Thai province resolves to its provincial capital, and an island or state resolves to its main town — which is why rooozt always names the place rather than showing you a bare pair of numbers.

They are 2016–2025 averages from ERA5, a reanalysis dataset on a roughly 9 km grid, not a reading from a single weather station and not a forecast for the dates you travel. Grid-cell rainfall typically reads higher than a nearby weather station records, especially in mountainous areas.
