Bali is an Indonesian island located 2km southeast of Java in the Indonesian archipelago. Its mix of lush tropical forest and impressive mountain landscape interspersed with sandy beaches and a hot climate, make it a popular holiday destination.
Where Is Bali?
Located only 8º south of the equator, Bali doesn't experience much of an annual range in temperature. Bali also experiences the opposite day length of countries in the northern hemisphere.
Even though the days are longest in December and shortest in June and July, the amount of daily sunshine is still similar to countries in the northern hemisphere.
Sunshine Hours In Bali
Bali has an average of 8.2 hours of sunshine a day. The highest total comes in June, July, and August with an average of 10 hours a day, while January and February experience the least amount of daily sun on average, with just six hours.
Does Bali Have Seasons?
While seasonally the two periods (Wet and Dry season) differ greatly in characteristics, the actual temperature doesn't vary so much- sitting at an average high of 29ºC to 33ºC all year.
The average low temperature fluctuates even less, as it is just 22ºC or 23ºC every month of the year. With such a stable floor of how cold it gets in Bali, you know what you're getting year-round.
January is generally the coldest month of the year, with an average high of 29ºC and a low of 23ºC, while May is generally the hottest. The average high in May is 33ºC, with an average low of 23ºC.

Even though the wet season doesn't usually sound like a good time to go swimming, January through April still offers great opportunities to get in the water.
January and February have the highest sea temperature in Bali with an average of 29ºC, while it is just a degree cooler on average (28ºC) in both March and April.

How Humid Is Bali?
Humidity in April begins to die off to about 65 70% and the average temperature is at a maximum of 33 ºC. April and May can be an enjoyable time to visit as it is just prior to the peak season of June - August so the region isn't as busy and the weather is slightly more bearable.

Peak Season In Bali
Just like mainly coastal regions, however, the towns are washed with an evening refreshing sea breeze, which provides a welcome break from the heat. This time period is Bali's peak season so you can expect crowds of tourists and higher prices during this time, particularly during July and August.
When Is WInter In Bali?
Students, travellers and young people flock to the island and make the most of the cheaper prices that the rainy season attracts. If you want to avoid a vibrant party atmosphere then avoid Bali, Kuta in particular, throughout January and February.
Bali is a very popular tourist destination for residents of Australia, in particular for those nearby Perth or Darwin as it is only a short, cheap, flight away.
Although the wet season is considered to be October through April, the rainiest part of the year is December through March. Each month averages 90mm of rain, with January leading in the amount of total days of rain with 16.
Throughout the rainy season, the heat remains solid. With the rain comes cooling relief but increased humidity. It's not called the wet season for nothing, with the region seeing almost daily tropical downpours.
