Abstract: Climate change is an important factor that has been a concerned for mankind that has created mixture of environmental problems in the 21st century. Malaysia is located in between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean which strongly influences climate variability in terms of El-Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) that pour in knowledge in terms of drought and floods experienced in Malaysia. ENSO has strongly influenced the inter-annual and intra-seasonal rainfall distribution in Malaysia. The increase in of tropical storms observed in South China Sea has contributed the rise of rainfall events in the East and West of Malaysia. Based on this annual trend analysis of temperature and rainfall have been analysed over the last 40 years. El Nino and La Nina have contributed of annual reduction and increment, respectively in the rainfall pattern for both Peninsular and East Malaysia throughout the years.
