What is the weather like in Bali right now and what clothes to pack?

It's hot across the island right now — coastal areas feel the heat most, the interior is slightly cooler, and the mountains can be genuinely chilly. Pack light summer clothes, but bring a layer if you're heading to highland areas.

Bali's rainy season typically runs from November to April, bringing flooding, traffic jams, and debris washed onto beaches from mountain rivers. The best time to visit is April through October.

If your forecast shows rain for the coming days, that's typical for this time of year. Bali's showers are usually short but heavy — pack a light rain jacket or a compact umbrella.
