Bali
Culture, beaches, yoga. Dry May–September. Scooter without an IDP voids your insurance. Split-stay Canggu + Ubud — skip Kuta.
A wet week ahead. Plan indoor backups.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Dry season is April through October, peaking in August — that's when to come. August is meteorologically near-perfect (driest, sunniest, coolest nights) but also when European school holidays collide here. The El Niño of 2023–2024 extended the dry season into October. November–March: 280–350 mm/month, debris on beaches. Scooter without an IDP voids your insurance.
