Climate

NO winter coats or fur boots to Bali! Its proximity to the equator (8 degrees) dictates its year round average temperature of 31 deg Celsius (mid-80s°F) and extreme humidity, especially from October to April, the Wet Season, that peaks from December to February. From May to September is dry season, with less humidity and plenty of outdoor enjoyment—if you don’t mind the oppressive sun—as occasional rainfall visits nights to before dawn to soothe the swelter. The days from June to August are blessed with refreshing cool breezes.

In contrast to the east coast that is almost always dry and sunny, the areas surrounding the northern slopes of Gunung Batur are almost always wet and misty. The central mountain areas such as Ubud offer cooler climes, and you may need light jackets (jumpers) and warm socks at night.
