Indonesia is a tropical country with two seasons… hot and hotter. The monsoon winds influence the amount of rain resulting in the wet and dry periods. November to March is generally wetter.

It can get chilly in the highlands. Don’t imagine getting by with just swimming shorts. Bandung, Puncak and Malang are cool, Bromo, and Kelimutu are cold.
The islands east of Bali are dry and sunbaked.

Tropical downpours mean torrents of rain falling for a few hours. Perfect for a massage or a quick snooze in the hotel. They stop quickly leaving everything fresher and greener.
