General Weather On Bali Island
When planning a vacation to Bali, besides resembling information about tourist attractions in Bali, hotels, and transportation, you will also find out about Bali’s weather.
Bali’s weather is very similar to other areas in Indonesia, especially with Java island, Gili Trawangan Island, Gili Meno Island, and the island of Lombok. Due to Bali island being close to the equator, Bali has a tropical climate with hot temperatures almost all year round. Bali only has two seasons, namely the rainy and dry seasons, apart from warm temperatures throughout the year.
Judging from many articles on weather forecasts in Bali, Bali’s rainy season occurs from November to April. Meanwhile, the dry season occurs from May to October.
However, from my experience living on Bali’s island, local rain can occur anytime with low intensity, even during the dry season. Rains with high concentration and distribution throughout the island usually happen from the end of December to January.
