The climate in this archipelago on the equator is tropical. In the lowlands, temperatures average between 21°C and 33°C, but in the mountains it can go as low as 5°C. Humidity varies but is always high, between 60 % and 100 %.
In general, Bali experiences two yearly seasons of monsoon winds: the southeast monsoon, bringing dry weather (musim panas - dry season), and the northwest monsoon, bringing rain (musim hujan- rainy season). Often the changing seasons can bring the time of high waves (musim ombak).
The rainy season is normally October to March, with a peak around January and February, when it rains for several hours each day. The rain is predictable, however, and always stops for a time, when the sun may come out. Before it rains, the air gets very sticky; afterwards it is refreshingly cool.
The dry season, April to September, is a better time to come, and especially June to August. This is the time to climb mountains or visit nature reserves.
Rainy season is not a bad time to visit Bali, because most of the downpours are in the mid afternoons and if you plan well, you can really enjoy the rest of the day.
Though many details about Bali weather are available, it is better to check with the current weather conditions in Bali before planning a trip to this island.
