Bali experiences two main seasons: the dry season from April to October and the wet season from November to March. The dry season is ideal for outdoor activities like beach visits, hiking, and temple tours, but it also attracts peak crowds in July and August. The wet season offers lush green landscapes and fewer tourists, but comes with higher humidity, sudden showers, and potential disruptions to outdoor plans. Shoulder months like May, June, and September provide a balanced mix of good weather and manageable crowds.
