Share The Article

Tourists planning vacations in Bali are in luck! Weather forecasters examining the long-term projections of weather movements over the province have confirmed that June is on track to see lower-than-usual rainfall, meaning it’s time for holidaymakers to have some serious fun in the sun. 

The dry season has officially started in Bali. As the island retains its monsoon-soaked greenery, blooming, drier days and brighter skies are certainly welcomed by local communities and tourists.

The monsoon season of November 2024 through to the end of April 2025 was one of the most devastating in recent history.

Flash flooding, fallen trees, landslides, and storms claimed the lives of dozens of people, damaged hundreds of buildings, and ruined many well-planned vacation days.

The Bali Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency predicts that rainfall in June will be relatively low, meaning sunnier and drier days are ahead as the high seasons get fully underway in Bali.

The Head of the Denpasar Geophysics Station, Rully Oktavia Hermawan, told reporters, “The nature of the rain in June in Bali is predicted to be generally normal.”

Rainfall in Bali’s most popular tourism areas, including Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Kintamani, Nusa Penida, and Kuta, is forecast to be below 100mm in June, with most areas seeing only 21-55mm over the course of the full month.

Nevertheless, tourists visiting Bali at any time of year are always advised to keep an eye on the weather and wave forecasts. As an island, the wave and ocean forecast, published by the Bali Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency, is incredibly important.

Tourists visiting Bali’s beaches, or planning to take trips to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, or day trips to go snorkeling or diving, should always check the wave forecast before setting out for the day. Even in the dry season, high weather warnings are often issued across Bali Province.

Tourists planning visits to Bali in June, July, and August certainly don’t need to have a Plan B on standby as a precaution for bad weather. It looks like it will be nothing but sunshine on the Island of the Gods.

In fact, in comparison to only a few short weeks ago, with temperatures rising, tourists heading to Bali should now be focusing on sun safety and how to plan their travel days with periods of time out of the sun, in the cool of the shade where possible. 

May and June are arguably some of the best months of the year to be in Bali. The dry season is finally in full swing, the temperatures are perfect, not too hot and by no means cold, and the high seas crowds are yet to arrive en masse.

There is a relaxed atmosphere around the island, and top attractions are easily accessed without long queues or too much traffic congestion. 

This is an excellent time of year to explore Bali’s natural landscapes and ocean activities. From snorkeling to hiking, cycling to ATV riding, there is much adventure to be had in Bali in May and June. 

One of the best activities to enjoy in the sunshine in Bali, besides kicking back at the beach, is visiting one of the island’s rice terraces.

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, in Tabanan Regency, is one of the most culturally significant landscapes on the island. For tourists, exploring the working rice paddies is always an eye-opening experience.

The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and make for a great day trip from resorts like Canggu and Seminyak. To make the most of a sunny day trip in Tabanan Regency, tourists should explore both Jatilwuih Rice Terraces and time a visit to Tanah Lot Temple for sunset.
