Best time to visit Denpasar
Indonesia · 20-year averages
August is the best month in Denpasar, scoring 83 out of 100, with November the weakest at 44. The 39-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs July to September — 3 months within ten points of the best.
November is the warmest month at 31.7 °C and July the coolest at 28.3 °C — a 3.4 °C spread across the year. 163 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.
There is a real wet season here. January, February, March and December carry the rain — up to 27 wet days in a month — while June to October drop as low as 5. That 22-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Denpasar, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea never drops below 25.7 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.6 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.
The three strongest months are August, July, September. The one to think twice about is November. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
