Best time to visit Indonesia

Dry season (peak season): From June to September, much of Indonesia, including Jakarta and Bali, sees lower rainfall and warm temperatures around 26–30°C (79–86°F), ideal for beach stays and outdoor exploring. Shoulder months (shoulder season): April to May and October to early November bring warm days around 25–30°C (77–86°F) with occasional showers, making it a good time to visit with fewer crowds. Wet season (low season): From November to March, rain showers are more frequent, especially in coastal and lowland areas, with temperatures typically 24–29°C (75–84°F), and you can still enjoy nature and cultural experiences between downpours.
