When visiting Bali it is important to take the weather conditions into consideration. Even though the Bali weather is understood to be sunny skies and cool breezes this is only half the tale. The weather in Bali isn't divided into 4 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 the year round and even in winter you can expect it to drop to only 24C.

The most popular time to visit Bali is in the dry season which lasts from April to September, with June to September being the top season. There is very little rain at all thru these months and you can expect to have 99% of the time you spend in Bali with sunny blue skies. There is slight rainfall in this time, but it is mostly in the afternoon, and though if could be a heavy downpour, only last a short time and then the sun comes out again.

The other, less popular season to visit Bali is in the wet season, typically from October to March, because of the very wet conditions. In this time of year you should expect terribly 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 renowned for. The high rain volume in the wet season gives the trees and plants masses of moisture to grow at an awesome rate.

In the entire year you can expect to have a high humidity which is at its highest in the stormy months and can reach as high as 90% which if you're 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 essential that you book a hotel that has air conditioning 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 people can find it difficult to breathe.

The winds that blow in Bali are gentle to moderate and you do not get the intense monsoons and typhoons that are associated with many Indonesian nations. There are some extraordinary storms that are awe-inspiring to experience, but apart from landslides there isn't any danger if you visit Bali in this time. Many people still come to Bali during this time as you may find that the Bali accommodation is less crowded and you'll be able to find much better rates.

With Bali being such a small island that is renowned for its marine life and fantastic scuba diving areas it does not really matter when you come to visit if you're interested by diving. Even during the heavy stormy season you're still assured of some sunny 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 downpours or spend some time doing some Bali shopping.
