Best time to visit Labuan Bajo

July is the best month in Labuan Bajo, scoring 78 out of 100, with November the weakest at 43. The 35-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs June to August — 3 months within ten points of the best.

October is the warmest month at 32.6 °C and January the coolest at 28.7 °C — a 3.9 °C spread across the year. 190 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, November and December carry the rain — up to 29 wet days in a month — while June to September drop as low as 4. That 25-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Labuan Bajo, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea never drops below 27.5 °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 July, August, June. 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.
