When is the season in indonesia for a beach holiday. When to go to Indonesia? Best time to travel

In Indonesia, equatorial and subequatorial maritime climates are distinguished. On the southern and eastern islands, in a subequatorial climate, there are two seasons: rainy (from November to February) and dry (from March to October). However, in many places it is difficult to distinguish seasons, dry and wet weather alternate spontaneously . In general, for most of the country, from November-December to March-April, the wet season lasts (the monsoon blows from the northwest), from May-June to September-October it is dry (the monsoon comes from the south and east, i.e. from side of Australia). However, for North Sumatra and for the northern and central parts of the Moluccas (Seram, Ambon, Buru), the picture is directly opposite. The picture is even more complicated if we take into account the many local microclimates that are characteristic of a particular area in Indonesia.

It is worth noting that Indonesia is quite humid: during the rainy season, relative humidity reaches 90%, and the rest of the year - 80%. In general, about 3000 mm of precipitation falls here annually, and most of all - in the foothills. In the south of the island of Sulawesi, more than 700 mm of precipitation is recorded in January, while in August - only 15 mm. For more northern islands Precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year, with about 200-300 mm falling monthly. In the flat regions of these islands all year round in the daytime, the air warms up to +28..+30 degrees, in the mountains it is a little cooler - about +20 degrees, and at night there are sometimes frosts. Coastal waters in all areas have a temperature of at least +26 degrees. The least amount of precipitation falls on the islands of the Nusa Tenggara group, located between Australia and Java. The air in Indonesia is humid, with relative humidity fluctuating between 70 and 90%. Typhoons and severe storms are not typical for the Indonesian seas.

The height above sea level has a great influence on the distribution of temperatures. In general, the temperature drops by about 1 deg. for every 100 m of ascent. The highest peaks in Indonesia are subject to night frosts, and some mountains of Irian Jai are permanently covered with snow.

The length of daylight hours in Indonesia is almost the same throughout the year. The difference between the shortest and longest day is 48 minutes.

Climate Bali The climate in Bali is equatorial-monsoon, instead of the usual division into 4 seasons, only two are distinguished here: dry (June-October) and wet (November-March), the largest number precipitation falls in January-February. In some areas of Bali, the difference between them is almost imperceptible. During the wet season, precipitation falls locally, usually at night in the form of short-term (1-2 hours) thunderstorms.

Average annual temperatures fluctuate slightly around 26°. In the lowlands and resort areas it is warm day and night; the nights are rather cool in the mountains, and generally fresher than in the rest of the territory. The water temperature in the ocean is 26-28°.

Best time to visit:

Best time for holidays in Bali - May, June, July, August. These months have the least rainfall, the least amount of rainy days, and are not very hot. There is an influx of tourists to Bali twice a year. In December - January, Australians come to Bali to rest. And the Indonesians themselves prefer this time of year. July and August are the traditional holiday season for Europeans in Bali. Prices shoot up sharply. On the other hand, it is July and August - the time of entertainment, holidays and lack of rain. The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season, which starts in May and lasts until October. Those who prefer to take their holidays in July-August are in for dry and "cool" weather. There are also disadvantages - hotels are filled to capacity and their cost rises sharply. In our opinion, the best time to visit Bali is May and June. And there are at least two reasons for this. Firstly, with some luck, the complete absence of rain, and secondly, quite reasonable prices.

If your plans include excursions to the mountains and volcanoes, then you should know a few things.

During the rainy season it is difficult to plan any excursions. You can spend time on the beach, but the unrest on the ocean causes storms, due to which the water becomes cloudy, a lot of garbage and algae are washed ashore. But there are almost no tourists, and the prices for holidays during this period are loyal, the cost of tours is also attractive. Some tourists believe that it is better to relax in Bali during the low season, and they specially go to soak up the local spa centers.

According to tourists, the main drawback low season- this is high humidity (85% and above). Against the background of the heat, it is difficult to endure it out of habit, the stuffiness at night is especially debilitating, and it is simply impossible to do without an air conditioner indoors.
