Seasons

Seasons in Bali are not the same as what many of us are used to and they do not experience the typical 4 seasons like the rest of the world. Similar to a lot of South East Asian countries, Bali’s climate is hot all year round but its seasons are divided into two; the rainy season and the dry season. 

The Dry Season: April-October

The dry season in Bali could be described as their summer and you will find high temperatures of around 27°C upwards. This is the busiest time for tourism in Bali which starts increasing from March and drops off around September. It is said that the ocean is at its clearest and prettiest during the summer months too. There are occasional spells of rain however precipitation is low throughout these months.

The Rainy Season: November – March

Precipitation levels are a lot higher during the rainy season. Expect to pack rain coats and be careful of getting caught out in the rain.

Temperatures stay around the 27-29°C however humidity levels are a lot higher making the temperature feel a lot hotter and the air thicker

This is still a popular time to travel to Bali with December being one of the peak months for Bali visitors. If you want to experience Bali without as many crowds then January and February are the perfect months for you.
