Top Tips for Visiting Bali

When to Go

April to October offers dry, pleasant weather (25–30°C). November to March is the rainy season with occasional downpours (25–32°C). Avoid Nyepi (March/April) for quieter travel.

Weather

Ubud and Kintamani average 20–30°C year-round, cooler in highlands. Seminyak and Kuta are warmer (25–33°C), with rain heaviest November–March.

Transportation
