The high season for vacations in Bali is here, but has anyone else\nnoticed it hasn\u2019t been super warm this past week?<\/p>\n
Locals in several areas of Bali have experienced cooler-than-usual\ntemperatures over the past few days, and the team at the Bali\nMeteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency has spoken to reporters\nabout why this is happening.<\/p>\n
Not only is it the high season for vacations in Bali, but we are now\nwell and truly into the dry season. The rainy season in Bali was one of\nthe worst in living memory, and while we\u2019re all happy to see the end of\nthe rain, the dry season brings about a whole heap of issues of its\nown.<\/p>\n
Which is why these cooler temperatures noted around Bali are creating\nsomething of a sweet spot for holidaymakers. It\u2019s not too hot, it\u2019s not\ntoo cold\u2026just right, some might say. But why is it feeling a little\ncooler than usual, especially at night and in the early mornings?<\/p>\n
Weather forecaster at the Denpasar Region III Meteorology,\nClimatology, and Geophysics Agency (BBMKG), I Wayan Gita Giriharta, told\nreporters the phenomenon of cooler air temperatures at night until\nmorning is, in fact, a common condition during the peak of the dry\nseason.<\/p>\n
She shared, \u201cThe phenomenon of air temperatures feeling colder at\nnight usually occurs during the peak dry season, namely June, July, and\nAugust.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giritarta explained that the cooler air pattern is influenced by the\napparent annual movement of the sun and the activity of the Australian\nMonsoon.<\/p>\n
During this period, the sun\u2019s position is in the Northern Hemisphere,\nso the regions of Indonesia that lie south of the equator, including\nBali, receive less sunlight. This is exacerbated by Australia\nexperiencing winter, causing relatively high air pressure over the\ncontinent, which pushes cold air masses toward Indonesia, including\nBali.<\/p>\n
Giriharta explained, \u201cThe Australian continent is in the winter\nperiod, so there is a movement of cold air masses from Australia towards\nIndonesia, passing through Bali and the surrounding area.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also cited clear skies and lack of cloud cover as another reason\nfor this wave of cooler days, noting \u201cThe sky tends to be clear with\nlittle cloud cover, resulting in the direct release of solar radiation\nheat into the atmosphere, making the air near the surface feel cooler,\nespecially at night and in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Temperatures have been seriously low, with the lowest temperature\nrecorded this week in Kintamani Village at 13-degrees celsius.\nNevertheless, the coastal regions have sat within a normal range of\n19-24 degrees. The BMKG estimates that relatively cold air conditions at\nnight and in the early mornings are still likely throughout June and\ninto August.<\/p>\n
For tourists traveling to Bali over the next few months, what does\nthis mean for packing? Here at The Bali Sun, we always advise\nholidaymakers to add a couple of layers to their suitcase, especially if\ntraveling to higher altitudes and inland regions like Kintamani to visit\nMount Batur and Bedugul to enjoy Ulun Danu Beratan and Lake Beratan.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always good to bring a few layers to keep warm in the evenings,\nespecially if dining outdoors, wherever you are in Bali.<\/p>\n
Along the coast, temperatures are expected to remain pretty normal\nfor this time of year, in which case sun safety is a top priority.<\/p>\n
Tourists should wear thin, cool layers to help protect their skin\nfrom sun exposure and high temperatures. Made Sudarma Yadnya, another\nforecaster from the BMKG Bali, has recently spoken to reporters about\nthe risk of sunburn and UV exposure during the dry season in Bali.<\/p>\n
He called on the public, especially holidaymakers, to make use of UV\nprotective equipment such as sunscreen, hats, or umbrellas. He also\nhighlighted the importance of maintaining fluid intake to avoid\ndehydration.<\/p>\n
