Indonesia is a country in South-East Asia. The population, according to the results of the 2011 census, is more than 245.5 million people, the territory is 1,919,440 km, according to both of these indicators it is largest country region. It ranks fourth in the world in terms of population and fourteenth in terms of territory. Located on both sides of the equator on the islands of the Malay Archipelago and the western part of the island New Guinea and washed by the Pacific and Indian Oceans, it is the largest island nation in the world. The country includes at least 17,508 islands, of which about 6,000 are inhabited. Indonesia is a piece of paradise where holidaymakers await great holiday. Don’t worry about when is the best time to go to Indonesia – it’s a good place to vacation all year round. However, like in any other region of the world, the weather in Indonesia has its own characteristics.

The climate of the country is divided into equatorial and subequatorial. Mostly throughout Indonesia there are distinct dry and rainy seasons. The rainy season for most of the country lasts from November to March, the dry season from April to October, so this period is considered the most successful for relaxation here. However, for the islands that are located in the north and center are strange (North Sumatra, northern and central parts of the Moluccas) the picture is exactly the opposite. During the rainy season in Indonesia, showers and thunderstorms are quite rare, and short-term precipitation falls mainly in the evening and at night.

The exception is the island of Java, where a world record for the number of thunderstorms is recorded - 322 days a year. In general, the Indonesian climate is characterized by fairly high humidity - 80% in the dry season and 90% in the rainy season. During the year, almost 3000 mm of precipitation falls throughout the country, but in mountainous areas this figure can reach 6000 mm.

During the rainy season in Indonesia, transport problems are possible throughout the country; you should be careful when hiking in the mountains; you should also avoid diving during this period.

A bright tropical paradise, the thoughts of which instantly immerse you in sweet bliss, Bali is a real diamond of the Indonesian “necklace”, the smallest island in the Malay archipelago. Find out on the Tour Calendar why the best time for a beach holiday on the Island of the Gods is considered to be from May to August, and for cultural and educational tourism this period extends until October.

Tourist season in Bali

Bali is Indonesia's most developed resort destination, whose revenues have made it the richest and most visited island in Southeast Asia. Today Bali is included in the list of elite tourist destinations, where most of the world's hotel chains are represented. However, you can relax here for more modest money, and in excellent conditions. Maximum conditions for a comfortable pastime have been created here; it is worth mentioning the first-class level of service - Bali is given 1st place in the number of service personnel “per capita” of a tourist. All this and also stunning. beautiful nature, snow-white beaches, rich traditions and colorful ritual holidays annually attract up to 3 million people from all over the world to the island. The main season with the greatest influx of tourists is the period from May to October, which is the driest period of the year.

High season

The high season in Bali is “dictated” local weather. This is the time when the island experiences the least amount of precipitation, and hot weather more gentle. In the summer, at the height of vacations and school holidays, Bali turns into a real mecca for tourists. Beaches are the main center of attraction this time of year. The resort contingent is represented to the greatest extent by Europeans, Americans and Russians, whose speech is heard here more and more often. By the way, Russia is among the Top 10 countries with the largest number tourists vacationing in Bali. Probably largely due to direct charter flights during the high season. The island is also visited by avid surfers, because this is the ideal time to practice this sport. If you have planned a trip to Bali for the summer, be prepared to spend a decent amount of money, because during the peak season the cost of services and accommodation on the island soars almost to the ceiling. Pre-booking a hotel is a must if you are traveling on your own and want to avoid a long search for overnight accommodation upon arrival on the island. Many tourists snatch up tasty options six months before the expected departure date.

Low season

Bali is located just 8° south of the equator, so the island is warm all year round. Winter is hotter than summer. However, this is the tropical rainy season, so there are not as many tourists here as in summer. If we say that the period from November to April - low season, then this will not be entirely accurate. Still, the New Year and Christmas holidays are the second wind of many tourist destinations, and Bali in this regard is no exception. Therefore, it would be more correct to classify December and January as the middle season. In winter, the island is popular mainly with Australians and New Zealanders. Slightly fewer Russians come to resorts. One of the reasons for this is the lack of direct regular flights to the capital, and connecting flights are significantly more expensive. Although some airlines organize various promotions on the eve of the winter holidays, they are designed for a limited number of people.

Beach season in Bali

In Bali you will find many magnificent beaches with fine sand of almost all shades - from snow-white and golden to black, volcanic origin. The water temperature throughout the year fluctuates in the range of +26 °C..+28 °C, and in principle you can swim in any season. However, beach holidays are less comfortable from November to April, when the rainy season is in full swing, during which storms often occur. In February, southwesterly winds usually blow, causing great roughness at sea. As a result, the ocean water becomes cloudy and debris and algae wash up on the beaches. Agree, swimming in such conditions brings little pleasure. However, the wet season is not always “classic”. Some months there may be no precipitation at all. This happens especially often on the Bukit Badung Peninsula, located in the south of Bali. As for a beach holiday in Bali in the summer, this is what God himself commanded. At this time, the island experiences the lowest temperatures by the standards of local residents, the number of rainy days is reduced to a minimum, and the sea water is cleaner. Talking about swimming season, it is also worth mentioning such a feature as ebbs and flows. They happen every day for a whole year, and every time different time. Usually this information is available on any beach on the island. But Tour-Calendar invites you to familiarize yourself with their schedule in advance, to do this, click.

Surf season

Surfing in Bali is as popular a recreational activity as swimming on the beaches. Hundreds of surf spots are scattered throughout the island, but most of them are concentrated in its southwestern part - in Uluwatu and Kuta. The last resort, by the way, is more designed for beginners. The best time for surfing, and the safest, is the dry season. The surf season usually opens in July. In summer, world-famous surfers flock to Padang Padang Beach. They are just amateurs big waves, are awaiting the start of the biggest competition in Indonesia, called “Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang”. We are waiting, because there are no exact dates for the competition, they depend on Mother Nature. After all, the opening of the contest will happen when ideal “pipes” with a height of at least 3 meters appear. In addition to summer, people come to Bali for skiing in winter. In this case, preference should be given to the east coast.

Diving season

People also go to Bali for diving adventures full of adventurism. Diversity aquatic ecosystem The Indonesian archipelago amazes even the scientists themselves. Finding yourself in the possession of a kingdom of exotic fish, seeing sharks with your own eyes, going down to the remains of sunken ships - all this is very possible here. Not only experienced divers are welcome on the island, but also “green” beginners. Most favorable time for diving - in calm weather conditions, when there are no strong undercurrents and winds disturbing the water. In general, this is a dry season, occurring from May to October. However, some dive sites have their own specific times with the best or, conversely, the worst conditions for a given sport. For example: it is better to go to Menjangan Island and Tulamben from April to November, but Padang Bai should be avoided from June to September.

Fishing season

Fishing in Indian Ocean very exciting and entertaining. Just imagine, you can easily catch a 100 kg fish here! Ocean tuna, mackerel, giant trevally, wahoo - the list of trophy specimens can be listed for a very long time. If you have the means, be sure to try trawling fishing, aimed at catching huge fish. There are many companies organizing fishing trips in Bali, so this activity can be a pleasant addition to your main beach holiday. There are also special tours for 7-10 days with departure from Russia, which can be found in travel agencies in major cities of the country. Usually such trips are organized during the dry season, although in fact they fish in Bali all year round. But since this pleasure costs a lot of money, and the flight time is very long, we still do not recommend taking risks.

Best time for excursions

In Bali you can go to see numerous temples, explore ancient cities with fascinating architecture, feed the monkeys near the village of Ubud, take part in an elephant safari, and if it suddenly becomes unbearably hot - good decision will be a trip deep into the island, where entire hectares of rice terraces lie. There is always a pleasant coolness here. Bali is a small island, so if you wish, you can completely explore it in two weeks. Certainly, good weather there will be a tailwind here, because tropical showers, although they only come in the early morning and late evening, wash out the roads a lot. Therefore, for excursion trips it is best to prefer the dry season.

Wellness season

Bali is a volcanic island. The country's hot thermal springs attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to the area. Bathing in them rejuvenates, relieves fatigue and eases joint pain. And ingestion stimulates the gastrointestinal tract. One of these places of pilgrimage (there is no other way to say it) are the thermal baths near the crater lake Batur and the hot springs of Air Panas, a kilometer from the village of Banjare. The largest crowds of people here can be seen in tourist season, and throughout the year - on weekends, when Indonesians come here. Bali is also famous for its SPA treatments, which are offered in every hotel. This island is the leader in the number of SPA salons in all of Indonesia. Whether it's flower baths, thalassotherapy or hydromassage - within a few days you will feel the positive effect. SPA treatments are available all year round, so when you arrive in Bali, do not deny yourself this pleasure.

Wedding season

The beauty of a Balinese wedding ceremony is very difficult to put into words. Hundreds of thousands of lovers annually choose this island to spend their most important day in your life - your wedding day. And it doesn’t matter that the laws of Bali do not officially register the marriages of those who profess Christianity or Catholicism, since even a symbolic ceremony in this tropical paradise is a cocktail of bright emotions, romance and beautiful traditions, the taste of which will be remembered for a lifetime. The mass wedding season in Bali occurs during the summer months, as this is the most favorable time of the year in terms of weather conditions. Due to high demand, as we approach the summer season, the likelihood that you will be able to tie the knot on the specific day you desire is reduced to zero. In order for everything to work out the way you want, you must submit an application to the organizer and pay for the services at least 6-7 months in advance.

Religious season

Bali is the island of a thousand temples. The way of life of the Balinese is completely dictated by their religion - Hindu Dharma, which is a mixture of classical Hinduism, Buddhism, spiritualism with the cult of ancestors. Here they believe in demons and appease the spirits every day with small offerings in the form of small baskets with flowers and rice, which can be seen on absolutely every street and even in restaurants. The island celebrates a great many religious holidays, sometimes simply shocking Europeans. For example, the cremation ceremony for the islanders is, in their opinion, the most important celebration, at which it is customary to dance and have fun. And sometimes tourists become unwitting witnesses to this action, often taking place on the beach. Despite the fact that only 5% of Muslims live in Bali, millions of believers from all over Indonesia flock here during Ramadan. But the islanders consider the following to be the most sacred events: the 10-day Galungan holiday in honor of the victory of good over evil, celebrated every 210 days; Nyeli is the first day of the Balinese New Year, which is spent in absolute silence, sitting at home and praying (even tourists are asked to stay in hotels, and Denpasar airport is closed on this day); Odalan - the three-day anniversary of the temple (each temple has its own date) and many others.

It's time for holidays and festivals

It is very difficult to understand at what time certain festivals will take place in Bali, since the Balinese live according to their own special calendar, or rather even two. But what is certain is that during the tourist season, the peak of which is summer and early autumn, the cultural life of the island is enriched by many events, aimed primarily at dear guests. At the beginning of June, the Pesta Kesenian Bali arts festival opens in Denpasar, during which tourists can get acquainted with the culture and ancient traditions of the island. The whole month takes place under the auspices of national dances, ancient rituals, performances and music concerts. In September, Ubud hosts a 6-day literature festival. And in Kuta, in October, the grandiose “Kuta Carnival” takes place, the opening of which is held by a thousand surfers. As part of the carnival, a large-scale gastronomic festival is organized, in which 60 of the best restaurants of the resort take part. In January-February, Bali celebrates Chinese New Year(the island has up to 150,000 representatives of this nation), and at the end of March - in mid-April the New Year is celebrated by the indigenous inhabitants of the island. The holiday lasts exactly 5 days and is of a very religious nature: two days before New Year, “Melasti” is a day of purification, followed by “Pengrupuk” - a ritual of expelling evil spirits, on the first day of New Year there is “Nyepi” - a day of silence and meditation. , The 2nd day is dedicated to “Ngembak Nyepi” - the day of forgiveness.

Climate in Bali

The weather in Bali is determined by the equatorial monsoon climate. This means that throughout the whole year it is quite hot here, and the water and air temperatures are little variable - from +26 °C to +30 °C. In resorts and coastal areas, as a rule, there are high temperatures, in the lowlands the weather can be a little more moderate, and in the high mountain areas it can be much cooler, especially at night. The change of seasons is barely felt. More precisely, the nature of the weather changes only in the amount of precipitation and its intensity, as well as the direction of the blowing winds. There are two main ones on the island climatic seasons With conditional boundaries: April - October are dry seasons and November - April are wet seasons. They are conditional because it can suddenly rain in the summer, and several weeks of winter can remain completely without precipitation. Despite the wet season, overall in Bali 340 sunny days per year. Another climatic feature of the island is high level humidity reaching 80%.

Bali in spring

Spring in Bali is the transition season between the Balinese summer and winter. In March, there is a lot of rainfall on the island, and it is as hot as in winter. However, from April the amount of rain decreases significantly and the weather becomes more comfortable. In the center of the island you can already feel a slight freshness. This month marks the beginning of favorable surfing weather. However, it is worth knowing that you cannot engage in this sport without a T-shirt and shorts, since the sun in Bali is quite aggressive, and even a couple of hours spent on the board under open sun rays, may cause serious burns. The dry season begins in May, which results in very rare rainfall. The sky may be slightly cloudy, but the sun shines brightly most of the day.

Bali in summer

What summer is for Europeans, it is winter for Balinese. But in order not to get confused, we will talk about the time of year that is familiar to us. So, summer in Bali is considered the most best period a year for any type of pastime - be it beach or excursion holiday. Since June, the land has been blown by cool ocean breezes, the water is very warm - +26 °C..+27 °C. July and August are considered the coldest months and at the same time the driest. There is practically no precipitation, the air temperature becomes a couple of degrees lower than in winter and, importantly, the level of relative humidity. Last fact provides easier tolerance to hot weather, breathing easier. If you go deeper into the island, the climate there will be slightly different: there is more cool weather, in the evening the thermometer drops to +18 °C. It rains periodically.

Weather in Indonesia by seasons and months

The holiday promises to be wonderful at any time of the year. True, it is summer that is popular with tourists - when it is not too hot and the humidity is low. In winter, it rains more often, although on the northern islands the situation is exactly the opposite.

The time from May to September is usually called high season, at this time of year, housing prices rise, the beaches become crowded due to the influx of travelers, but relaxation is as comfortable as possible.

Low season in Indonesia and winter

During the rains, there are slightly fewer tourists, although few are ready to give up visiting the paradise islands when at home snowing and the frosts are raging. Indonesia in winter means rare showers and short rains in the evening and at night. Although there are unfortunate exceptions that can spoil even the most wonderful vacation.

Thanks to his geographical location Indonesia attracts tourists all year round. You can safely come here at any time and be sure that the weather will not ruin your vacation. Climate features in Indonesia The country has two climates: equatorial and subequatorial, which determines the differences in weather conditions in different parts of Indonesia. Thus, on the southern and eastern islands you will find the division into two opposite seasons, familiar to many countries in the region: the dry season and the rainy season. From March to October, the east monsoon brings dry weather, while from November to March-April, the west monsoon brings rain and winds. And in the northern and central parts of Indonesia, one can observe the opposite picture of the division of seasons at certain times of the year. But the peculiarity of the climate in Indonesia is its heterogeneity, even within one small island. For example, clouds can be localized in a very small area, and after getting wet in the pouring rain in one place, after 300-500 meters you will catch the surprised glances of completely dry people enjoying the sun.
Another one distinguishing feature local climate - high humidity, reaching 80% in normal times and 90% in the rainy season. Mountainous areas are most susceptible to precipitation, but the plains do not suffer from drought, so you can enjoy luxurious views of lush vegetation. Average temperatures throughout the year range from 23 to 28 0 C above zero. Indonesia, namely the island of Java, distinguished itself in the number of thunderstorms throughout the year: 322 days a year - this absolute record worldwide. When is the best time to go? Since the weather in most parts of Indonesia is divided into two seasons: dry and rainy, it is better to plan your trip here from March-April to October. Although rainfall occurs only briefly during the rainy season, heavy rainfall is not typical for most of Indonesia, and thunderstorms are also uncommon except in one region in the country named above. But during the rainy season, problems with transport may arise and, of course, extreme tours, such as diving or mountain hiking, are contraindicated. July and August are considered the hottest months of the year; this is also the most popular holiday time among most tourists from all countries: schoolchildren begin their holidays and many go to Indonesia for a family holiday. Diving enthusiasts and everyone who wants to swim should pay attention to the tide tables, which are available on every beach belonging to a hotel.
