When to go

The climate is tropical. The dry season starts in late April and ends around November. It is the ideal time to visit Indonesia when it rains less. Certain regions of Indonesia, such as the islands of Kalimantan and northern Sumatra, are significantly more rainy and experience little climatic variation throughout the year.

In Bali and the entire Nusa Tenggara archipelago, the difference between the rainy season and the dry season is marked, with some islands entering into long periods without rain. During the monsoon, from December to the end of April, the sky is often cloudy and it can rain for several days at a time.
