Weather in Bali
When visiting Bali it is vital to take the weather conditions into account. Even though the Bali Weather is thought to be sunny skies and cool breezes this is only half the story. The weather in Bali isn’t split into four seasons but rather into 2. There’s the dry season and the wet season, with the temperature remaining pretty constant across the year. The averages temperature in Bali is 28C all year and even in winter you may expect it to fall to only 24C.
The hottest time to visit Bali is in the dry season which lasts from April to Sep, with June to September being the peak season. There is very little rain at all thru these months and you can expect to have 99% of the time you spend in Bali with bright blue skies. There is slight rainfall in this time, but it is mostly in the afternoon, and although if can be a heavy downpour, only last a short while and then the sun comes out again.
The other, less popular season to go to Bali is in the wet season, typically from October to March, due to the very wet conditions. In this time of year you can expect very torrential rain for days if not for weeks at a time. It is this season that give Bali its dense tropical rainforests that it is famous for. The high rain volume in the wet season gives the trees and plants plenty of moisture to grow at a fantastic rate.
In the whole year you should expect to have a high humidity which is at its highest in the rainy months and can reach as high as ninety percent which if you’re not used to it can be extremely stifling. When coming to Bali and you aren’t used to living in a humid climate it is essential that you book Bali Accommodation that has air conditioning for you to acclimatize. The humidity is felt more inland where the coast gives way to a higher altitude and some areas are so dense with foliage that some folks can find it tricky to breathe.
The winds that blow in Bali are light to moderate and you do not get the serious monsoons and gales that are associated with many Indonesian s. There are some amazing storms that are grand to experience, but except for landslides there isn’t any danger if you visit Bali during this time. Many people still come to Bali during this time as you may find that the Bali accommodation is less crowded and you’ll be able to find much better rates.
With Bali being such a small island that is famous for its marine life and fantastic scuba diving areas it does not really matter when you come to go to if you are interested by diving. Even during the heavy wet season you are still assured of some bright days, it is simply that when it rains it really rains and you’ll have to stay in the hotel during the heaviest of the downpours or spend some time doing some Bali Shopping.
