In the extreme north is the peak of Kini Balu , the height of which is set down at 13,698 feet , with an interrogation point after it . Other mountains are estimated to be from 4,000 to 8,000 feet high . There are no active volcanoes . `` In the low lands on the coast , it is hot , damp , and unhealthy for those who are not acclimated ; but in the high lands among the mountains , the temperature is moderate , from 81 ° to 91 ° at noon , and it is sometimes worse than that in New York . From November to May , which is the rainy season , violent storms of wind with thunder-showers prevail on the west coast . In hot weather the sea-breezes extend a considerable distance inland . Vegetation is remarkably luxuriant , as our young hunters will find in their explorations .
