TRAVELERS GUIDE: WEATHER IN BALI

Article by Mathan Mohan







Located around six to eight degrees south of the equator with the Java Sea to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south, Bali has a tropical climate making it a very fertile land with lush, dense vegetation. The climate remains constant through the year except for the amount of rainfall which keeps varying. Increase or decrease in the rainfall has an impact on the humidity too.As Bali is so close to the equator, there is no change in the number of daylight hours throughout the year. With the sun rising at 6:00 am and setting at 6:00 pm all through, Bali experiences a warm temperature with ample inflow of sea breeze, luring many tourists to look for hotel accommodations near the beaches.

The temperature in Bali is almost constant throughout the year, averaging around 28° Celsius along the coasts and 23° Celsius at the higher altitudes of the mountainous areas that make up some of the inland terrain. Bali has only two seasons – the monsoon season between October to April and the summer from May to September. The summer here is pleasant and an ideal time to visit Bali. Many hotels in Bali offer special packages to tourists during this season. This is also a perfect time for getting discounted Bali hotels.

The temperature remains constant throughout the year and unlike many other countries, Bali does not have a distinct winter season. It is fairly cold during the monsoon months and quite warm during summer, making it the best time for any outdoor activities.

During the rainy season though there are typhoons affecting Indonesia, Bali remains fairly safe as there is no heavy monsoon winds blowing in.Every year, the winds blow from the south and east during June to September, then change direction and come from the northwest for the rest of the year. Even during the rainy season, when the western monsoon brings heavy showers and high humidity across most parts of Bali, ‘Bukit’ – the hills lying south of the Jimbaran beach in Bali remain sunny. Likewise, when it is summer across Bali, showers can be expected throughout the year in and around the mountain areas. Places at higher altitudes like ‘Bedugul’ also have a chill in the air after sunset, even during summer.

The island of Bali is split into two parts by a mountain chain that stretches from west to east. Some of the mountain peaks have volcanoes and are active including Mount Agung, (3,142m) the tallest point above sea level, and Mount Batur (1717m). While the northern side of the mountain is fairly steep, the southern side is much leaner forming a fertile plain and has some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches including Sanur Beach, Kuta and Nusa Dua.

With rich flora, fauna, beautiful beaches, moderate climate, lots of adventure games and the exciting hotel deals that are on offer, Bali makes for a perfect holiday destination.
