The rainy season in Bali is from October to March of the following year, which means it is best not to go to Bali if you don’t plan the time well.

April to September is the best time to visit Bali.

Bali is located on the equator and has a typical tropical rain forest climate with high temperatures throughout the year. The maximum temperature is between 30-35 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between morning and evening is small, and it is divided into dry season and rainy season.

April-September:

Dry season, with less rainfall, is the best time for surfing, diving, mountain climbing and cycling; festivals are intensive at this time, and it is a good time to appreciate cultural landscapes . The Bali Art Festival, held from mid-June to mid-July, is a great attraction for tourists.

October-March: Rainy season, with heavy rainfall, humid air, and more mosquitoes, but except for volcano hiking, most activities can be carried out. Most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, with cheap air tickets and greater discounts on travel products.

However, the two weeks after December 25 are the Christmas and New Year holidays in the West, and the number of tourists will also increase significantly during the Chinese Spring Festival. Hotels during these two periods are easily full, so bookings need to be made 1-3 months in advance.

You can also go there during the rainy season, just find the time. However, it will definitely rain every day during the rainy season, but it does not last long. Sometimes it rains once or twice a day, and it can last as little as half an hour, or even pass by in a flash, or as much as two or three hours. Does it have a big impact on the itinerary? The first reason is that when you go to Bali, you wear cool clothes, so you won't catch a cold because your clothes get wet. The second reason is that the rain will not last too long, so you can just hide indoors for a while. The end of October should be fine, but it will be more rainy from the end of November to the beginning of December. However, global weather changes are a bit unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed. If it enters the rainy season, it will basically rain every day, and occasionally it will rain all day long.
