What to expectDenpasar through the year

Denpasar changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 26 and 28 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Counted across a normal year, 362 days a year reach 25 °C, 6 of them reach 30 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 35 °C, in December.

Rain is strongly seasonal. January averages 382 mm against 32 mm in August — 12 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.

The sea off Denpasar is warmest in March at 29 °C and coldest in August at 26 °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.
