CLIMATE
& TIMEZONE
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.
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 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 October, which has similar advantages.
