Indonesia Climate: Average weather, when to go, what to pack
INDONESIA WEATHERFrom east to west, Indonesia spans 5,000 kilometres (3,000 miles) along the Equator, connecting Asia to Australia; in other words, the country spans the distance equivalent to the one between the east and west coasts of Canada.
Indonesia climate is typically tropical, with hot, humid, and rainy weather throughout the year. in the following regions: Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and much of Papua. As is typical in hot countries, the rain occurs in the form of downpours or thunderstorms, which occasionally causes flooding. Temperature naturally decreases with altitude on mountains and volcanoes, which are very high in some places.
On Bali, which is east of Java, the rainfall is 67 inches (1,700 mm) per year, the breeze moderates the heat, and the weather is optimal from July to August. In addition, on the eastern part of the island (Lombok, Flores, and Maluku), the dry season lasts longer, and precipitation decreases even more, with coastal regions receiving just over 1,300/1,400 mm (51/55 in) per year.
Best time to go
Indonesia climate and weather is an excellent illustration of a tropical nation, and the weather there is very simple: dry season and wet season. Within the country, certain regions might have a slightly distinct climate than others, but overall you’ll have an idea of what the weather will be like. Between July and August, the weather is dry but cool and inviting in Indonesia.
The question is if July to August is the best season to visit Indonesia, does that imply that we should avoid the country during the wet season? Absolutely not. Indonesia’s wet season has a different charm, and you may still get dry spells during the rainy season. Precipitation occurs in Indonesia’s tropical location mainly in the late afternoon or evening, and it is usually a heavy but short downpour. You may still make the most of your trip if you schedule your sightseeing in the morning and early afternoon.
What to pack
It’s smart to pack casual clothes that are suitable for tropical climates at all times of the year, as well as a light jacket for air conditioning. You may also wish to bring an umbrella or raincoat in places with a tropical climate all year round or an equatorial climate during the rainy season. In Bandung, around 1,000 meters (3,300 feet), you may want to bring a lightweight jacket, as well as a sweatshirt. In mountainous areas, bring thick clothes and a warm jacket, as well as hiking footwear. If you’re going to the reef, you’ll need snorkeling gear, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
