What to expectCilegon through the year
Cilegon changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 29 and 30 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.
Counted across a normal year, 365 days a year reach 25 °C, 77 of them reach 30 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 36 °C, in October.
Rain is strongly seasonal. December averages 291 mm against 69 mm in August — 4.2 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.
The sea off Cilegon is warmest in May at 30 °C and coldest in January at 29 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
