So what's happening now in Muar? Let's start by figuring out what time it is over there....

Maybe this will help - since Muar is on the other side of the world from here - it may be tomorrow, already! Does that make you feel better? I thought not. The easiest way to think about it is that Muar is 12 hours AHEAD of Detroit. So if is 8am on Monday morning in Detroit, it is 8pm Monday evening in Muar. But if it is 8pm on Monday in Detroit, it is 8am Tuesday morning in Muar. Or thinking the other way - if it is 5pm on Monday evening in Muar, it is 5am on Monday morning in Detroit. Got it?

And how's the weather? A little warm and a little humid, we're guessing! The high for today should be about 90F and it will probably rain. That's because Muar is located just 150 miles north of the Equator and is surrounded by oceans. One description of the climate says "Muar enjoys a year-round tropical rainforest climate which is warm and sunny, along with plentiful rainfall, especially during the southwest monsoon from April to September."
