Bali has a tropical monsoon climate with two main seasons: the dry season (April to October) and the wet season (November to March). Temperatures stay warm year-round, typically 24–31°C. Check the live forecast above for the most accurate outlook for your travel dates.
When is the best time to visit Bali?
The dry season, from April to October, offers the most reliable sunshine and lower humidity, ideal for beach holidays and exploring Ubud. The wet season brings short, heavy downpours and higher humidity, but can still be a good time for a quieter trip with lower prices. For a balance of good weather and fewer crowds, consider May, June or September.
What about the weather in Ubud?
Ubud is inland and at a higher altitude, so it’s noticeably cooler than the coast, especially in the evenings. It also receives more rain, even during the dry season. Pack a light jacket or sweater if you’re staying there, especially for early morning walks.
Is it safe to travel to Bali during the rainy season?
Yes, it’s generally safe. The rain usually comes in sharp bursts, often in the afternoon, leaving plenty of dry time. However, some remote roads may be affected, and sea conditions can be rougher. Check 10 day forecast updates before planning outdoor activities.
What should I pack for a trip to Bali?
Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential, plus a rain jacket or umbrella for the wet season, especially if you’re heading to Ubud. Sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent are year-round basics. For evenings, a light sweater is useful in Ubud.
How does Bali weather in December compare to July?
December is in the wet season with more rain and higher humidity, while July is dry and sunny. Both months are hot, but July offers more reliable beach weather. December often sees lower hotel rates outside the school holiday period.
