Bali has a tropical climate year-round, meaning it is generally warm, humid, and lush, regardless of the season. Daytime temperatures typically range between 80–90°F (27–32°C), with high humidity, especially in coastal and rural areas.
Dry Season (May–September) | Generally sunny and warm. Lower humidity than in other months. Cooler evenings, particularly in higher elevations. It's a popular travel period with comfortable outdoor conditions.
Rainy Season (October–April) | Characterized by short, heavy tropical rain showers, often in the afternoon or evening. Mornings are frequently clear and sunny. Rain rarely lasts all day, and landscapes are especially green and vibrant.
Comfort Tips: Wear lightweight, breathable clothing. Stay well hydrated. Take advantage of shaded rest breaks. Use sun protection daily (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
