No month dominates: the wettest is Oct at 11.49 mm/day, the driest Feb at 3.48 mm/day. Taken together that is roughly 2,704 mm of rain a year for the grid cell.

What the Kota Kinabalu climate table shows
Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 5.9749, 116.0724 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.
