The picture of blissful shores, buzzing markets and welcoming locals, Bali is a bucket-list destination for tourists longing to indulge in a new culture and the Great Outdoors – but the tropical climate has been known to put a (literal) dampner on dream holidays.

Bali boasts consistently warm temperatures and gentle conditions thanks to its position near the equator, with average annual temperatures that range from 29C to 32C. From the lush jungles of Ubud to the golden beaches of Kuta, tourism hubs greet visitors with clear seas and skies during the seven-month dry season but sunshine, rainfall, temperatures and humidity (especially in the wet season) all vary depending on the time of year.
