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. (more…)
