When is the best time to travel to Bali?

Although warm and tropical year-round, the weather in Bali features two distinct seasons: the dry and the wet. The dry season runs from May to September and these months are considered the best time to travel to Bali.  Throughout the year, the Bali temperature is pretty consistent, sitting in the low 30s. However, the dry season features less rainfall, lower humidity, and a reprieve from the monsoon wind. Surf conditions are at their premium during these months, and it’s also the optimum time for activities like scuba diving and snorkelling. July and August are the region’s peak tourism season, with resorts often booked to capacity and the streets bustling with activity.

What is Summer like in Bali?

Located only eight degrees south of the equator, Bali's summer runs from December to February and is the height of their wet season. If you're planning on visiting during this period, make no mistake: it will rain. Days also feature high humidity and an average temperature of 31°C. Appropriate clothing: Casual beachwear and informal attire. Don't forget: An umbrella to combat the inevitable downpour.

What is Autumn like in Bali?

Autumn heralds the transition between the high rainfall of the wet season and the drier conditions of April and May. The end of the season also sees a rise in visitor numbers, but without the hustle and bustle of large crowds. Appropriate clothing: Short sleeves and light, summery attire. Don't forget: Swimmers and sunglasses to enjoy the sun's welcoming rays.

What is Winter like in Bali?

With a daily temperature range of 23°C to 31°C, “winter” is hardly the best word to describe June to August in Bali. Days bathed in sunlight plus a welcome cooling breeze make this the most popular time to visit Bali. Appropriate clothing: Casual, summery attire remains the wardrobe staple even in a Bali winter. Don't forget: A light jumper in case those cool breezes prove too brisk.

What is Spring like in Bali?

Bali's weather is a mixed bag during spring. September offers picture-perfect conditions, but October and November mark the shift into the wet season. The best advice is to cater to all eventualities. Appropriate clothing: Summer wear for sunny days, light long-sleeve options for the evening cool, and rain gear for the occasional downpour. Don't forget: Insect repellent for the mosquitoes.
