Bali holiday weather
Bali climate is very tropical with warm temperatures throughout the year. The daytime temperature hardly climbs to 30°C and the island receives a great level of sunshine. In fact, it experiences two distinctive seasons; dry season, from April till October, and wet seasons, from November till March. However, even during the middle of a wet monsoon, tourists can expect the sun to make an appearance during the afternoon. Some areas of Bali present different weather patterns mainly due to the forest and mountains. Therefore you may see cloudy skies and showers throughout the year in Ubud and the mountainous forest areas of Bali. In higher mountainous regions also such as in Bedugul or Kintamani you’ll also expect to need a jumper or jacket as when evening falls the temperature can drop quite significantly. Bali is located only eight degrees south of the equator, and so it does not experience much of an annual range in temperature. It has two seasonal periods Wet and Dry seasons which differ greatly in characteristics. The actual temperature does not vary too much-ranging at an average of 20 ºC to 33 ºC all year round. Overall, Bali is a warm climate zone. |

In Bali, wet season can be highly experienced during December and January lasting through March. During this period, Bali remains humid, relative humidity averaging 75% with a high volume of rainfall also particularly in December to February where 280mm – 300mm averages are received monthly. Even when it rains in most areas you can often enjoy sunny days in selected areas such as Bukit near Jimbaran. Rainfall even in the wet season often only presents rain in the morning and evening to night with several fine periods of dry from mid day to late afternoon.
Dry Season
