When visiting Bali it is important to take the weather conditions into consideration. Although the Bali weather is understood to be sunny skies and cool breezes this is only half the story. The weather in Bali is not split into 4 seasons but rather into 2. There's the dry season and the wet season, with the temperature remaining pretty constant throughout the year. The averages temperature in Bali is 28C all year round and even in winter you can expect it to fall to only 24C.

The most popular time to visit Bali is during the dry season which lasts from April to September, with June to September being the top season. There's very little rain at all during 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 generally in the afternoon, and though if can be a heavy downpour, only last a little while and then the sun comes out again.

The other, less popular season to go to Bali is in the wet season, typically from October to March, because of the very wet conditions. During 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 known for. The high rain volume during the wet season gives the trees and plants lots of moisture to grow at a fantastic rate.

During the entire year you should expect to have a high humidity which is at its highest in the rainy months and can reach as high as 90% 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 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 foliage that some people can find it tough to breathe.

The winds that blow in Bali are light to moderate and you don't get the major monsoons and gales that are associated with many Indonesian countries. There are some extraordinary storms that are awesome to experience, but aside from landslides there is not any danger if you visit Bali during this time. Many folks still come to Bali during this time as you may find that the Bali accommodation is less crowded and you will be able to find far better rates.

With Bali being such a tiny island that is renowned for its marine life and wonderful scuba diving areas it doesn't really matter when you come to visit if you're curious about diving. Even during the heavy rainy season you're still assured of some sunny days, it is simply that when it rains it really rains and you may have to remain in the hotel during the heaviest of the downpours or spend some time doing some Bali shopping.
