When visiting Bali it's vital to take the weather conditions into consideration. Even though the Bali weather is known to be sunny skies and cool breezes this is only half the tale. The weather in Bali is not divided into four seasons but rather into two. There's the dry season and the wet season, with the temperature remaining pretty constant across the year. The averages temperature in Bali is 28C all year and even in winter you can expect it to fall to only 24C. The hottest time to visit Bali is in the dry season which lasts from Apr to September, with June to September being the peak season.
There's very little rain at throughout these months and you should expect to have 99% of the time you spend in Bali with bright blue skies. There's slight rainfall in this time, but it is mostly in the afternoon, and although if could be a heavy downpour, only last a little while and then the sun comes out again. The other, less popular season to visit Bali is during the wet season, typically from October to March, due to the very wet conditions. During this time of year you should expect awfully heavy rain for days if not for weeks at a time. It is this season that give Bali its dense tropical rain forests that it is known for.
The high rain volume in the wet season gives the trees and plants masses of moisture to grow at an incredible rate. During the full year you should expect to have a high humidity which is at its highest during the stormy months and can reach as high as ninety percent which if you are not used to it can be extremely stifling. When coming to Bali and you are not used to living in a humid climate it is critical that you book a hotel that has aircon in order for you to acclimatize. The humidity is felt more inland where the coast gives way to a higher altitude and some areas are so dense with vegetation that some folks can find it difficult to breathe.
The winds that blow in Bali are light to moderate and you do not get the serious monsoons and gales that are associated with many Indonesian countries. There are some amazing storms that are awesome to experience, but except for landslides there is no danger if you visit Bali in this time. Many folks still come to Bali during this time as you may find that the Bali accommodation is less crowded and you'll be capable of finding much better rates.
With Bali being such a small island that is renowned for its marine life and amazing scuba diving areas it does not really matter when you come to visit if you are curious about diving. Even during the heavy rainy season you're still assured of some bright days, it is simply that when it rains it really rains and you'll have to stay in the hotel during the heaviest of the rain or spend some time doing some Bali shopping.
