Bali in January The heart of the wet season. Inland spots like Ubud with temples and cafes are easier. Some years the Galungan holiday falls around now, and the date moves yearly, so check ahead.
Highs averaged 30°C and lows stayed at 26°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. The gap between day and night was just 4°C, so it felt much the same around the clock. Rain was a regular part of the month, showing up on 28 days on average. Year to year it swung widely, from 18 rain days in 2007 to 31 in 2011.
Highs topped 30°C on 19 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense.
