Everyone who is going to fly to the island of mystical spirits and the Mecca of surfing wonders when is the best time to go to Bali to relax. This island is located only 8 ° south of the equator. Certainly, given fact cannot but affect its weather. Here equatorial climate ic belt, which means that the temperature throughout the year is approximately the same - ± 30 degrees. Besides, the sun is here most the time of day is at its zenith, which is why, in addition to the risk of getting burned, it is also insanely hot here. Only in Bali I managed to burn the scalp right among the hair, because. the sun's rays fall almost at right angles directly on the top of the head. Next, I will share with you the details of when is the best time to go to Bali, considering the weather by month.

Weather in Bali for a year - seasons in Bali

Due to the proximity of the equator in Bali, there is no autumn and spring as such, we can say that the year here is divided into only two main seasons - summer and winter. Moreover, this island of the Indonesian state is already in southern hemisphere, which means that winter and summer have changed places here compared to our relatives northern latitudes. True to temperature regime this practically does not affect, because. all year round here is about 30 degrees, but the rest climate indicators will differ.

Summer in Bali runs from October to March. During this period, the rainy season comes here, bringing with it high humidity, which is not well tolerated by everyone. The air becomes sticky, stuffy and thick, as if you could cut with a knife. Only everyday tropical showers bring some relief and freshness, but after them only flooded streets remain, and the air becomes unbearably heavy again. Not everyone will like to feel forever in the sauna. Keep this in mind when planning your trip.

Winter in Bali starts in April and ends in September. These months are the dry season. The temperature drops a little, but there are also short-term rains in the "winter" months, although in much smaller quantities. And in principle, the island keeps sunny dry weather. This time is considered high season. The largest number of tourists is in July and August.

It is also worth considering that although Bali is completely small island, but its landscape is full of diversity. For this reason, the weather in different parts this land area varies markedly. In its coastal areas it is usually hotter, but the sea breeze is a little refreshing and brings the breath of the sea. The middle part of the island is on a hill, and therefore it gets cooler here. It seems like it takes only about 1 hour to drive from Ubud to Kintamani, but the road constantly goes uphill, thanks to which, in the end, imperceptibly for yourself, you rise to a height of 1000 m, where it becomes noticeably fresher.

At the same time, just a few kilometers from Kintamani, near the Agung volcano, precipitation almost always collects and its slopes are covered with fog.

On the same day, we drove only 1-1.5 hours from Kintamani to Besakih, when we plunged into a milky fog, and then a severe thunderstorm broke out. Agung completely we did not manage to see. But only we left this " Bermuda Triangle as if the rain had never happened.

And, for example, in the area of ​​​​the village of Bedugul, you may even need a light jacket or a long-sleeved jacket. There, too, regardless of the season, clouds constantly gather, pouring down showers, and the highlands cool the air to a very cool state.

The weather in Bali for a year is well reflected in this graph, which I made according to local meteorological agencies. As you can see, it will be as hot as possible - + 34 ° C - in April, and cooler (if you can call it that :)) in August, when the thermometer drops to + 29 ° C.

We managed to come to Bali in April, but we, i.e. middle part of the island, and was generally quite tolerable, even though there was no air conditioning in our house, only a fan. But after we moved to Kuta and on the coast it was really noticeably hotter and harder. Once again, I did not want to crawl out of the hotel during the day.

As for precipitation, their maximum volume falls in January and other winter (in our opinion) months, and starting from April, their number decreases sharply. In August, the rains in Bali are the least.

Many people are worried about when the surf season starts in Bali. You don’t have to worry - they are engaged on the island all year round. Hot weather and waves make it possible to do this in any month, and therefore Balinese surf schools do not close even in low season. So for surfers, in principle, it does not matter when it is better to go to Bali.

Of course go to Bali in the low season, ie. from October to March, will be the cheapest. But just look at the graphs of temperature and precipitation above, and think: will you feel good with an average temperature of +32°C and very humid air?

I can note that in April and May the prices are still not too high, and therefore, in my opinion, at this time, both in terms of weather and cost, it will be best to relax in Bali.

If you manage to go to Bali only summer months(June-August), you will have to pay a little more for everything than in other months. But in principle, the prices in Bali are very loyal, so you may not even notice that you are spending exorbitant amounts)

If your vacation falls in the winter, or you want to take a vacation in Bali for New Year, then spend at least a few days in the middle part of the island - ride down to the Batur and Agung volcanoes, see the waterfalls near Bedugul, live in the most creative and atmospheric city of the island -. In these parts it will not be as hot as on the coasts, plus you will see this mystical island from completely new amazing sides.

And the Bali distances are so small that it won't be tiring to ride everywhere. For one day, I rode a moped with a three-year-old child from one part of the island to another and back :) So do not think that you will not be able to climb out somewhere further than your hotel;)

    Tourist season in Bali

    Bali is the most developed resort in Indonesia, whose income has made it the richest and most visited island in South-East Asia. Today, Bali is included in the list of elite tourist destinations, where most of the world's hotel chains are represented. However, you can relax here for more modest money, and in excellent conditions. It has created maximum conditions for a comfortable pastime, it is worth mentioning the first-class level of service - Bali is given the 1st place in terms of the number of attendants "per head" of a tourist. All this, plus the stunning beautiful nature, snow-white beaches, rich traditions and colorful ritual holidays annually attract up to 3 million people from all over the world to the island. The main season with the largest influx of tourists is the period from May to October, which is the most "dry" period of the year.

    High season

    The high season in Bali is "dictated" by the local weather. This is the time when the island experiences the least amount of precipitation and the hot weather is more forgiving. In the summer, in the midst of vacations and school holidays, Bali turns into a real mecca for tourists. Beaches are the main attraction this time of year. The resort contingent is represented to the greatest extent by Europeans, Americans and Russians, whose speech is heard here more and more often. By the way, Russia is in the top 10 countries with the largest number tourists vacationing in Bali. Probably largely due to direct charter flights in high season. Avid surfers also visit the island, because this time is considered ideal for practicing this sport. If you have planned a trip to Bali for summer period, be prepared to spend a decent amount of money, because at the peak of the season the cost of services and accommodation on the island soars almost to the ceiling. Advance hotel booking - required condition if you are traveling on your own and want to avoid a long search for accommodation upon arrival on the island. Many tourists "grab" tidbits six months before the expected departure date.

    low season

    Bali is located just 8° south of the equator, so the island is warm all year round. Winter is hotter than summer. However, this is the tropical rainy season, so there are not as many tourists as in summer. If you say that the period from November to April is the low season, then this will not be entirely accurate. Still, the New Year and Christmas holidays are the second wind of many tourist destinations, and Bali is no exception in this regard. Therefore, December and January would be more correct to rank as the middle season. In winter, the island is popular mainly with Australians and New Zealanders. A little less comes to the resorts of Russians. One of the reasons for this is the lack of direct regular flights with the capital, and connecting flights are much more expensive. Although some airlines arrange various promotions on the eve of the winter holidays, they are designed for a limited number of people.

    Beach season in Bali

    In Bali you will find many magnificent beaches with fine sand in almost all shades - from snow-white and golden to black, volcanic origin. The water temperature during the year fluctuates between +26 °C..+28 °C, and in principle you can swim in any season. However, beach holidays are less comfortable from November to April, when the rainy season is in full swing, during which there are often storms. February usually blows southwest winds causing great excitement at sea. As a result, the water in the ocean becomes cloudy, and debris and algae wash up on the beaches. Agree, swimming in such conditions brings little pleasure. However, not always wet season stands out as "classic". In some months, precipitation may not fall at all. This is especially true of the Bukit-Badung Peninsula, located in the south of Bali. As for a beach holiday in Bali in the summer, this is what God himself ordered. At this time, the island has the lowest standards local residents temperatures, rainy days are kept to a minimum, and sea water is cleaner. Speaking of bathing season, it is worth mentioning such features of it as ebbs and flows. They happen every day for a whole year, and every time in different time. Usually this information is available on any beach on the island. But the Tour-Calendar invites you to familiarize yourself with their schedule in advance, for this, press .

    Surf season

    Surfing in Bali is the same popular view relaxation, as well as swimming on the beaches. Hundreds of surf spots are scattered throughout the island, but most of them are concentrated in its southwestern part - in Uluwatu and Kuta. The last resort, by the way, is more designed for beginners. The best time to surf, and the safest, is the dry season. The surf season usually opens in July. In summer, Padang Padang Beach attracts world-famous surfers. They, as well as just lovers of big waves, are waiting for the start of the most grandiose contest in Indonesia, called the "Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang". Waiting, because there are no exact dates for the competitions, they depend on mother nature. After all, the opening of the contest will happen when ideal "pipes" with a height of at least 3 meters appear. In addition to summer, people come to Bali to ride in winter. In this case, preference should be given to the east coast.

    diving season

    They also go to Bali for diving adventures full of adventurism. The diversity of the aquatic ecosystem of the Indonesian archipelago amazes even the scientists themselves. Find yourself in the possession of the kingdom exotic fish, see sharks with your own eyes, go down to the remains of sunken ships - all this is very possible here. The island welcomes not only experienced divers, but also "green" beginners. The most favorable time for diving is in calm weather, when there are no strong undercurrents and winds that disturb the water. In general, this is the dry season, falling between May and October. However, some dive sites have their own specific time with the best or, conversely, the worst conditions for this sport. For example: it is better to go to Menjangan Island and Tulamben from April to November, but Padang Bai from June to September should be avoided.

    fishing season

    Fishing in Indian Ocean very exciting and spectacular. Just imagine, here you can easily catch a 100-kg fish! Ocean tuna, mackerel, giant tuna, wahoo - the list of trophy specimens can be listed for a very long time. If you have the means, be sure to try fishing trawling, focused on fishing huge fish. There are many fishing companies in Bali, so this activity can be a pleasant addition to the main beach holiday. There are also special tours for 7-10 days with a departure from Russia, which can be found in travel agencies major cities of the country. Typically, such trips are organized during the dry season, although in fact people fish in Bali all year round. But since this pleasure costs a lot of money, and the flight time is very long, we still do not recommend taking risks.

    The best time for excursions

    In Bali, you can go to see the numerous temples, explore ancient cities with bewitching architecture, feed the monkeys near the village of Ubud, take part in an elephant safari, and if it suddenly becomes unbearably hot, a trip inland, where entire hectares are spread out, will be a good solution rice terraces. There is always a pleasant chill. Bali is a small island, so if you wish, you can fully explore it in two weeks. Certainly, good weather here it will be as a tailwind, because tropical showers, although they go only in the early morning and late evening, wash out the roads great. Therefore, for excursion trips it is best to prefer the dry season.

    Wellness season

    Bali is a volcanic island. Hot thermal springs countries attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to this area. Bathing in them rejuvenates, relieves fatigue and relieves joint pain. And ingestion stimulates work gastrointestinal tract. One of these places of pilgrimage (it’s impossible to say otherwise) are the thermal baths near crater lake Batur and hot springs Air Panas, a kilometer from the village of Banjare. The largest concentration of people here can be observed in tourist season, and throughout the year - on weekends when Indonesians come here. Bali is also famous for its spa treatments, which are offered in every hotel. This island is the leader in the number of SPA-salons in all of Indonesia. Whether it's flower baths, thalassotherapy or hydromassage - in just a few days you will feel the positive effect. SPA treatments are relevant for all year round, so upon arrival in Bali, do not deny yourself this pleasure.

    wedding season

    The beauty of the Balinese wedding ceremony is very difficult to put into words. Hundreds of thousands of lovers annually choose this island for their most big day in your life - the day of marriage. And it does not matter that the laws of Bali do not officially register the marriages of those who profess Christianity or Catholicism, since even a symbolic ceremony in this tropical paradise is a cocktail of vivid emotions, romance and beautiful traditions, the taste of which will be remembered for a lifetime. Mass wedding season Bali falls in the summer months, because this is the most favorable time of the year in terms of weather conditions. Due to high demand, as we approach summer season the probability that you will be able to tie the knot on a certain day you want is reduced to zero. In order for everything to turn out the way you want it, you need to apply to the organizer and pay for the services at least 6-7 months in advance.

    religious season

    Bali is the island of a thousand temples. The way of life of the Balinese is completely dictated by their religion - Hindu Dharma, which is a mixture of classical Hinduism, Buddhism, spiritualism with the cult of ancestors. Here they believe in demons and daily appease the spirits with small offerings in the form of small baskets of flowers and rice, which can be seen on absolutely every street and even in restaurants. The island celebrates a great multitude religious holidays, sometimes simply shocking Europeans. For example, the cremation ceremony for the islanders is the most important celebration, in their opinion, where it is customary to dance and have fun. And sometimes tourists become unwitting witnesses of this action, often taking place on the beach. Despite the fact that only 5% of Muslims live in Bali, millions of believers from all over Indonesia flock here during Ramadan. But the islanders consider the following to be the most sacred events: the 10-day Galungan holiday in honor of the victory of good over evil, celebrated every 210 days; Nyeli is the first day of the Balinese New Year, which is spent in absolute silence, sitting at home and praying (even tourists are asked to stay in hotels, and Denpasar airport does not work on this day); Odalan - the three-day anniversary of the temple (each temple has its own date) and many others.

    Time for holidays and festivals

    It is very difficult to understand at what time certain festivities will take place in Bali, since the Balinese live in their own way. special calendar, or rather even two. But it is clear that during the tourist season, which peaks in summer and early autumn, cultural life The island is enriched with many events designed primarily for dear guests. In early June, the Pesta Kesenian Bali Arts Festival opens in Denpasar, during which tourists can get acquainted with the culture and ancient traditions of the island. A whole month passes under the auspices of national dances, ancient rituals, performances and musical concerts. In September, Ubud hosts a 6-day literature festival. And in October, Kuta hosts the grandiose Kuta Carnival, the opening of which is held by a thousand surfers. As part of the carnival, a large-scale gastronomic festival is organized, in which 60 the best restaurants resort. In January-February, Bali celebrates the Chinese New Year (the island has up to 150,000 representatives of this nation), and at the end of March - in mid-April, the indigenous people of the island celebrate the New Year. The holiday lasts exactly 5 days and is very religious in nature: two days before NG, “Melasti” is the day of purification, followed by “Pengrupuk” - the rite of expelling evil spirits, on the 1st day of NG there is “Nyepi” - the day of silence and meditation , The 2nd day is dedicated to "Ngembak Nyepi" - the day of forgiveness.

    Climate in Bali

    The weather in Bali is determined by the equatorial monsoonal climate. This means that during the whole year it is quite hot here, and the water and air temperatures change little - from +26 °C to +30 °C. The resorts and coastal areas tend to have high temperatures, the lowlands can be a little milder, and the highlands can be much cooler, especially at night. The change of seasons is barely felt. Rather, the nature of the weather changes only in the amount of precipitation and its intensity, as well as the direction of the blowing winds. The island has two main climatic seasons with conditional boundaries: April - October - dry, and November - April - wet seasons. They are conditional because it can rain suddenly in summer, and several weeks of winter can remain completely without precipitation. Despite the wet season, Bali has a total of 340 sunny days in a year. One more climatic feature islands is high level humidity up to 80%.

    Bali in spring

    Spring in Bali is a transitional season between Balinese summer and winter. In March, the island receives a lot of precipitation, while it is hot just like in winter. However, since April, the amount of rain is significantly reduced, and the weather becomes more comfortable. In the center of the island, you can already feel a slight freshness. This month marks the beginning of favorable weather for surfing. However, you should know that it is impossible to engage in this sport without a T-shirt and shorts, since the sun in Bali is quite aggressive, and even a couple of hours spent on the board under open sunbeams may cause severe burns. In May, the dry season begins, which translates into a very rare rains. The sky may be slightly cloudy, but the sun shines brightly most of the day.

    Bali in summer

    What is summer for Europeans is winter for Balinese. But in order not to get confused, the story will be about the usual season for us. So, summer in Bali is considered the most the best period a year for any kind of pastime - whether it be beach or sightseeing vacation. Since June, cool ocean breezes blow over the land, the water is very warm - +26 °C .. +27 °C. July and August are considered the "coldest" months and at the same time the driest. Precipitation practically does not fall, the air temperature becomes a couple of degrees lower than in winter and, importantly, the level of relative humidity. Last fact provides easier tolerance of hot weather, it is easier to breathe. If you go deeper into the island, the climate there will be a little different: the weather here is cooler, in the evening the thermometer drops to +18 ° C. It rains periodically.

    Bali - a paradise for connoisseurs exotic cultures. It is located in the Lesser Sunda Islands and is owned by Indonesia.

    Today we will talk about on this island and what is available in the low season.

    When does it start

    Experienced tourists are well acquainted with the peculiarities of the weather in tropical countries and know that in the eastern south there is no winter, spring, summer or autumn, but only a dry season and a rainy season. It is easy to guess that vouchers in a hot season (for example, in October) will cost more than during bad weather. But even then you can enjoy your vacation, saving, by the way, money on the tour.

    The wet season comes in November and. Sometimes he can, but this is rare. As a rule, he does not often look in the first month of spring either. It usually rains in the evening, and in the morning the sun begins to shine, which with its rays quickly dries up the atrocities of the downpour.

    The average air temperature is 29 - 33 degrees Celsius. But the humidity can reach 93 - 96%. Such an impossible combination indicates that you have arrived at the equator.

    More details about weather conditions in Bali see below:

    Is the rainy season dangerous?

    Why do tourists immediately see a terrible picture of electrified lightning tearing dark purple clouds in two, and torrential rain that fills houses and drowns cities at breakneck speed? Yes, it happens. But this a rare thing. Usually, the rains are short-term, although plentiful, more often at night, and sometimes they do not appear at all for a whole day.

    The monsoon season is not to be feared. Some fans of horror stories, of course, scare novice tourists big waves, strong winds and increased risk of contracting the virus. But, in principle, these months are not fraught with any threat. On the contrary, Bali transforms and puts on a lush green dress of herbs and flowers.

    What to do in Bali during the rains

    What a bliss to change the gloomy winter climate of Russia to the bright sun and turquoise sky, isn't it? So think not only you, but also tourists whose vacation falls in the winter. But, unfortunately, there is a huge risk of spending all your free time sitting in a cramped hotel room and watching heavy raindrops.

    But Bali would not be the heart of the Malay Archipelago if it did not attract tourists with other goodies. So, the list of things to do while staying on the island during the rainy season:

    Take a dip in the coastal waters

    The water in the ocean at this time of the year is quite warm. And since the rain may not appear for a whole day, it is worth taking the opportunity and diving into the depths of the sea.

    go surfing

    It is a mesmerizing sight and indescribable emotions! However, take note: before catching a wave, go to a surf school. There you will be better explained what a change of waves is and why it is dangerous.

    Enjoy the riot of greenery and the diversity of the animal world of the island

    After the hot season in Bali, everyone is truly blissful, reveling in moisture. Plants, having bloomed their soft purple and bright scarlet flower petals, absorb every grain of healing water, and forest dwellers often go out on the roads to look at the revived world. For naturalists, the rainy season in Bali is a real paradise.

    It doesn't hurt to buy a ticket to the zoo. The program at this time does not differ from the dry season. Even a little better - the animals are now more open to visitors. Just don't forget to take an umbrella with you - it might come in handy.

    Spend an evening - the second in a cozy cafe

    When the downpour has broken out in earnest, the ideal option would be a light snack in a comfortable environment. Grab your friends and enjoy delicious Japanese cuisine, say, in Ryoshi's cafe. The prices there are quite affordable, and the atmosphere of live soulful music will only complement the established harmony.

    Have fun with friends

    If you decide to travel around the island with a company and rent a villa, you can arrange an evening of conversations or a small party by the pool. Board games And no one has yet canceled watching a movie together.

    And although you will no longer see a full-fledged beach holiday in Bali, you can watch the raging elements from afar - in entertainment centers Kuty. In the late afternoon, you can often meet drunken cheerful people here, spending time with whom can be quite funny.

    Pay a visit to Ubud

    Ubud is a complex of villages in the heart of the mountainous jungle. Far from the sea. Around - sprawling trees and creepers of a diamond shade. And only in the distance one can see traces of a man - wide rice fields. However, only here you can fully experience the Balinese life and try yourself as a guinea masseur under the sensitive hand. Many fall in love with this area at first sight and stay here to live forever.

    If you prefer to spend your holidays in silence and solitude, then go to the Monkey Forest. There are few tourists here, but there are more than enough monkeys. You can feed them, you can play with them, you can watch them. The thick thickets of the jungle will shelter you from the annoying rain, if it suddenly starts suddenly.


    Taste Balinese seafood

    To fully understand how people live on the island, you need to go to the fish market. Of course, not only fish is sold there, but also other seafood - squids, lobsters, lobsters, shrimps, octopuses, crabs and many others. You can eat all this in some restaurant, but it won’t be the same at all ...

    Go shopping

    Prices in Bali are generally lower than in Russia, but the quality is not inferior. If , then it will not be difficult to implement this item at all. However, if you like extreme sports, then it is better to ride under open sky. The rains here are not cold, so there is no danger of a cold.

    - from branded clothing, leather wallets and luxury perfumes to products, souvenirs and surf equipment. If you're lucky, you can get on the day of discounts.

    Walk around the sights of the island

    Rains at night do not interfere with the study cultural heritage Bali by day. How many famous temples, abandoned places and interesting farms can be found on this small piece of land.

    We recommend to see Batur volcano. This is a unique dormant volcano that has spawned another one, only already active. Since its existence, the rookie has already erupted three times. The lake of the same name was also formed here, the depth of which does not increase during the monsoon period. The legend says that the gods of the mountains contribute to this.

    If you still think that the weather in Bali becomes unsuitable for excursions and travel in winter, then we hope we have proved the opposite to you. Isle of a Thousand Temples unique place a must-see for every self-respecting traveler.

    Between May and October, the dry season officially dominates Bali, which attracts tourists from even the most remote corners of the planet. Someone comes to the island for the sake of surfing, someone for the sake of a beautiful tan, someone likes visiting local attractions. All these (and not only) entertainments are just available during the high season on the island. I propose to figure out which month has the most favorable conditions for recreation, and what advantages and disadvantages this period of the year has.

    The dry season on the island starts in May and lasts until October. At this time, the tourist flow increases significantly, as favorable weather for recreation is established. Let's see how the weather changes from month to month on the island.

    May

    May is the beginning of the dry period. The amount of rain is much less compared to the rainy season, and the day is getting hotter. May is considered to be one of the best months to visit Bali. Due to the lung sea ​​breeze the heat is easily tolerated, therefore, the acclimatization period will pass faster.

    During the day, the air warms up to +30-+32 degrees Celsius, at night - up to +25. Almost all precipitation falls at night, the intensity of showers is significantly reduced. During the day, you can enjoy both a beach holiday and go on various excursions.

    June

    The first month of summer is also the most favorable time for a holiday in Bali. Despite the fact that during the day it is hot outside, there is no stuffiness that was in the low season. During the day, the air can warm up to +31 degrees Celsius, at night it is 6-7 degrees cooler. Light day lasts 10 hours.

    The amount of precipitation is slightly less than in the previous month, it still rains at night and does not interfere with daytime recreation. In June, amazing conditions are created for all types of recreation. At this time, both surfers and fans of a beach holiday will feel comfortable.

    July

    This month considered one of the driest of the year. During the day it is hot and sunny, the humidity is low, therefore, there is no feeling of being in a sauna. The air during the day is warmed up to +31 degrees Celsius, at night the thermometer can show +23.

    The beaches are never empty in July, the water temperature is +27 degrees Celsius, which creates comfortable conditions for water procedures. Many tourists travel to Bali in July for the magnificent beaches and a large selection of nightlife.

    August

    The weather of the last summer month is practically no different from June or July. Light day lasts at least 10 hours. The air during the day warms up to +31 degrees Celsius, at night - up to +26. Humidity is about 60%, but the temperature of the water in the ocean is about +27 degrees Celsius.
