Bali Climate:
The Balinese climate is warm and
humid, with the rainy season lasting from November to the beginning
of April (there may, however, be rainshowers in any month,
especially in the hills.)The best months for travelling are April to
October, but the rainy months also have a charm of their own. Even
in the rainy season it almost never rains all day long but mostly
only in the afternoon, and these warm, heavy tropical rainfalls can
be very nice. The north coast tends to get the least rain, the hills
the most. Bali has very soft, gentle, almost balsamic air and
industrial pollution is almost absent.
Light
cotton, viscose or silk clothes are most comfortable to wear in this
warm climate (linen is usually too heavy). Swimming
attire or shorts or tops that do not cover the shoulders should not
be worn outside the hotel areas. Sloppy or untidy clothing should
also be avoided, because clothing is an indicator of social status
and you will be treated much better if you are dressed cleanly and
modestly.
The
Best Time for Travelling:
The peak season for Bali is the months of July, August, and
September (this the main holiday season in Australia and New Zealand).
The weather ist most dry in these months, and it is likely to rain
very rarely. However, because the island is very crowded at this
time, we would rather recommend coming in March, April or May, when the
weather is almost just as nice, and there are less tourists. You
will also get hotel and flight bargains for these times. An
alternative time would be the month of September, October or
November, which has similar
advantages.
