CLIMATE

Bali, lying just eight degrees south of the equator, has the even and warm climate of the tropics--eternal summer, nice sea breezes, and a monotonously high humidity of around 75%. The most humid month is February. There we basically two seasons: The rainy season ( masan ujan ) last from October to April, with December and January being the hottest and wettest months. The dry season (masan panes) is from May to September, with August the driest month. July is the coolest month of the year.
During the dry season, the pace of life slows down, festivals slack off, and there are fewer tourists. Rainfall is spread out over the year, which keeps this small island a verdant paradise. But don't worry about the rain because tropical showers can quickly give way to blinding sunshine. Rainfall is usually not heavy and continuous; it arrives mainly In the late afternoon and night. Bali is subject to the northeast and southwest monsoons, with most of the rain arriving from the northeast. When the monsoons are at their peak there are strong winds, though because of Its closeness to the equator, Bali avoids the tenors of typhoons and cyclones. Bali's high mountains attract rain and, due to the southwest monsoons, dump their loads mostly on the southern plain, where rainfall averages 1,800 min per year. The south and west receive an average of 200 rainy days per year while the arid narrow strip in the north gets only 50-80. This is why northern farmers, who live in the rain shadow of the mountain ranges, concentrate more on maize, dry rice, manioc, beans, and copra. In the higher and cooler regions, coffee, cabbage, tobacco, and peanuts are grown.
