Bali's two seasons
Bali runs on a dry season (roughly April to October) and a wet season (November to March). The wet season brings intense but usually short afternoon downpours rather than all-day rain.
Why shoulder season wins
July and August are dry but crowded and expensive. April–June and September–October keep the weather while cutting accommodation prices and the south-coast traffic that eats hours of your day.
