Live forecast for Bali, Indonesia — updated in real time. Check today's temperature, UV index, hourly breakdown, and 14-day outlook.
Bali sits just south of the equator and has a warm tropical climate that stays remarkably consistent in temperature — highs hover around 88°F (31°C) all year on the coast. What changes is the rain, which divides the island's year into a distinct wet season and a dry season, the latter being the famously sunny stretch that draws visitors from around the world.
From April to October, the dry season brings lower humidity, abundant sunshine, and gentle sea breezes — the most popular time to visit. Rain is infrequent, skies are often clear, and conditions on the beaches and in the surf are at their best. Even at its driest, the tropical sun keeps the days hot and UV levels high.
From November to March, the northwest monsoon brings the wet season, with hot, humid days and frequent heavy afternoon downpours and thunderstorms. The rain usually comes in intense bursts rather than all-day drizzle, so mornings can still be bright before the clouds build. The interior highlands stay noticeably cooler and greener than the coast year-round.
Bali averages around 70 inches (1,780 mm) of rain a year, the great majority falling in the wet season. The combination of steady warmth, sea breezes, and a reliable dry season gives the island its enduring reputation for pleasant tropical weather.
Bali's tropical climate holds warm, humid conditions near 86-90°F (30-32°C) all year, with the seasons marked not by temperature but by rain. The dry season from April to October is sunny and less humid — the prime time to visit — while the wet season from November to March brings heavy afternoon downpours.
The volcanic terrain creates sharp local contrasts: the coast stays hot and humid, while the central highlands around the mountains are noticeably cooler, wetter, and often misty. Even in the rainy season the downpours tend to be intense but brief, leaving plenty of sun between them, and the sea breeze tempers the coastal heat.
