Bali is year-round warm and humid, as it's a tropical island just south of the equator. Ubud is inland and very green and a bit cooler at night, around 29°C and for me 20° as A/c is on ha ha.
Higher up or further North you go, the cooler it gets. Kintamani, Mount Batur, climbing the Campuhan Ridge before sunrise...all ok (I don't walk in the dark, nay nay). This morning, I was halfway up the Ridge, it was around half six, what I thought was a mist thickened up into a pasting and I walked carefully back through cords of water to my bedsit.
Streets and buildings suffer from the humudity and rain, paths and pavements are uncertain at the best of weathers, so no need to risk wet slippery surfaces. ... the local lady in that Cautionary Tale was most unwise.... hospitals here have special rates for tourists.
Summer and autumn is the dry season and the busiest; otherwise winter and spring are wet. Normally at least.
Monsoon is supposedly Nov to April. I can remember on 1 Oct 2022 I left Bali on the first day of the monsoon. Ditto 27 Sep 2019.
Best months are April, October and November.
Rainiest December, January and Feb, with Jan the wettest.
May is the hottest.
August is the driest and coolest.
