Bali Weather in October

What October feels like in Bali

October sits between Bali's dry and wet seasons. Expect proper heat in the afternoon — slow down between noon and four. The gap between afternoon and night is small, so nights stay warm and the temperature hardly changes after dark. High humidity makes the heat feel heavier and sticky, especially on still afternoons.

Rain in Bali in October

Rain is part of normal life this month, falling on about one day in 2. Rain tends to come in heavy bursts: about 11.8 mm (0.5 in) on an average rainy day. Across the year Bali averages about 11.1 mm per rainy day, so October is typical.

Daylight and sunshine in October

In mid-October, sunrise is at about 5:57 am and sunset at about 6:13 pm (local time) — 12 h 17 min of daylight. Since mid-September the day has gained 14 min. Close to the equator, sunrise and sunset times move very little through the year. The sun is out for roughly 75% of those daylight hours, so there are plenty of bright spells.

How October compares to the rest of the year

In Bali's temperature order, October sits as the 5th coolest month. Compared with September, afternoons are 0.4°C (0.7°F) cooler, with 125 mm less rain. Temperatures keep falling into November. By November, typical highs are 28.8°C (83.8°F).

Who October suits

• Sightseeing: a good fit — the weather rarely gets in the way of a city walk.
• Parks & outdoor: less ideal — afternoons are too warm to linger outside.
• Beach: less ideal — too many rainy days.
• Hiking: less ideal — too hot for long hikes.
