When visiting Bali it is vital to take the weather conditions into account. Although the Bali weather is known to be sunny skies and cool breezes this is only half the story. The weather in Bali isn’t split into 4 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 drop to only 24C.

The most popular time to visit Bali is in the dry season which lasts from April to September, with June to September being the top season. There’s very little rain at all thru these months and you can expect to have 99% of the time you spend in Bali with sunny blue skies. There’s slight rainfall in this time, but it is usually in the afternoon, and though if can be a heavy downpour, only last a short time and then the sun comes out again.

The other, less popular season to go to Bali is during the wet season, typically from October to March, because of the very wet conditions. In this time of the year you should expect awfully heavy rain for days if not for weeks at a time. It is this season that give Bali its dense tropical rainforests that it is renowned for. The high rain volume in the wet season gives the trees and plants masses of moisture to grow at a fantastic rate.

In the entire year you can expect to have a high humidity which is at its highest during the stormy months and can reach as high as ninety percent which if you’re not used to it can be very stifling. When coming to Bali and you aren’t used to living in a humid climate it is essential that you book a hotel which has air-con 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 people can find it tough to breathe.

The winds that blow in Bali are light to moderate and you don’t get the serious monsoons and typhoons that are associated with many Indonesian nations. There are some extraordinary storms that are grand to experience, but apart from landslides there isn’t any danger if you visit Bali in this time. Many folks still come to Bali during this time as you will find that the Bali accommodation is less crowded and you will be capable of finding much better rates.

With Bali being such a little island that is famous for its sea life and amazing scuba diving areas it doesn’t really matter when you come to go to if you’re interested in diving. Even during the heavy rainy season you are still guaranteed of some sunny days, it is simply that when it rains it really rains and you may have to stay in the hotel during the heaviest of the downpours or spend some time doing some Bali shopping.
