May to September is the dry season in Bali, Java and most of the islands. This is the best period for outdoor activities, beaches and temple visits. July and August are the peak months; May, June and September offer the same conditions with fewer crowds.

October to April is the wet season. Bali receives most of its rain from November to March, though showers are typically short and heavy rather than all-day. The landscape is lush and green; prices are lower.

Borobudur and Prambanan on Java are accessible year-round, though the July sunrise visits from Borobudur are particularly special and require advance booking.
