The Bali island experiences the monsoon season with high rainfall during this time. Therefore, you will require an umbrella or raincoat while stepping out. On the other hand, there will be fewer crowds. Travellers can also get low fares for hotels and flights.

With moderate rainfall, these two time periods offer cheap accommodation and travel along with pleasant weather. You can visit iconic places with a bit of hustle.

(3) When is Bali’s dry season: July to September

This period is dry and windy. It is the high season and the weather is charming. Tourists can enjoy various outdoor activities. You will get excellent beach weather. The sky is clear, and the air is fresh. The evenings are the best to enjoy the shores as the temperature goes down. But you will get the crowd on the beaches with a high price for flights and hotels.

Dos and Don’ts for Bali rainy season

• Avoid Hiking

A traveler should avoid hiking in the rainy season on account of several factors. First, a serious downpour can lead to slippery tracks, more chances of falling, and trees blocking the way. So if you have sunrise trekking to Mount Agung or Mount Batur, it’s better to replace it.

• Avoid Diving

If you are a beginner at diving, then you should avoid deep diving. Rainfall conditions affect diving conditions. So check with the guides before you go diving.

• Minor Flooding

When there is a heavy downpour, minor floods can occur in and around the city. So replace your expensive shoes with casual flip-flops. Oh, don’t forget your mosquito repellents.

• Enjoy the art of doing nothing

With a scenic view of every place, Bali can be a refreshing place. So while it rains, sit back with your partner or family and enjoy each other’s company. Or, if you go solo, pull up your blanket, take a cup of coffee, and your favorite book to enjoy the rain.

•  A must thing is an umbrella

Don’t forget to pack your umbrella and raincoat. Even if it is sunny outside, the weather might change anytime. So being on the safer side, don’t forget your essentials.
