Weather in Bali
When visiting Bali it’s vital to take the weather conditions under consideration. Even though the Bali Weather is thought to be sunny skies and cool breezes this is only half the tale. The weather in Bali is not split into 4 seasons but rather into two. 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 the year round and even in winter you may expect it to fall to only 24C.
The hottest time to visit Bali is during the dry season which lasts from Apr to September, with June to Sep being the top season. There is very little rain at all during these months and you should expect to have 99% of the time you spend in Bali with sunny blue skies. There’s slight rainfall during this time, but it is mostly in the afternoon, and although if could be a heavy downpour, only last a short time and then the sun comes out again.
The other, less popular season to visit Bali is during the wet season, typically from October to March, because of the very wet conditions. During this time of the year you should expect terribly torrential rain for days if not for weeks at a time. It is this season that give Bali its dense tropical rain forests that it is renowned for. The high rain volume in the wet season gives the trees and plants masses of moisture to grow at an incredible rate.
In the whole year you should expect to have a high humidity which is at its peak during the stormy months and can reach as high as 90% which if you are not used to it can be extremely stifling. When coming to Bali and you are not used to living in a humid climate it is critical that you book Bali Accommodation which has aircon in order 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 vegetation that some folk can find it tough to breathe.
The winds that blow in Bali are light to moderate and you do not get the intense monsoons and gales that are associated with many Indonesian nations. There are some dazzling storms that are awe-inspiring to experience, but apart from landslides there is no danger if you visit Bali during this time. Many folk still come to Bali during this time as you will find the Bali accommodation is less crowded and you’ll be able to find far better rates.
With Bali being such a little island that is renowned for its sea life and amazing scuba diving areas it does not really matter when you come to visit if you’re interested in diving. Even during the heavy stormy season you’re still guaranteed of some bright days, it is just that when it rains it really rains and you’ll have to remain in the hotel in the heaviest of the rain or spend some time doing some Bali Shopping.
