Come for Abundant Sunshine!
Bali’s tropical climate calls for thoughtful preparation to ensure a comfortable visit. During the dry season, from April to October, the warm temperatures and abundant sunshine make it essential to bring sunblock to protect your skin from UV exposure.

Even in the rainy season, from November to March, the island’s humidity can feel intense, so staying hydrated and dressing for the heat remains important. Packing these essentials will help you make the most of your time on the island. The temperature average in September is 29°C.
