Bali Weather in November: What You Need to Know

Bali weather in November usually marks the start of the rainy season, with sunny daytime skies and rain that tends to arrive more often in the afternoon or evening. This guide covers the weather patterns, temperatures and how to plan around them when touring the island by rental scooter or car.

November sits in the transition between the dry and rainy seasons in Bali. The exact pattern differs from year to year, so treat the figures below as a general picture, not a guarantee. For the latest forecast, check the official service of Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).

Bali Weather Patterns in November

Early November is generally still dominated by sunny days. Toward the middle and end of the month, rain starts to fall more often. Rain in Bali during this period usually comes as short, heavy showers, often in the afternoon to evening, after which the sky clears again.

• Air temperature: roughly 25–32°C in lowland areas such as Kuta, Seminyak and Sanur.
• Humidity: higher than in the dry months, and it feels more humid at midday.
• Wind: generally calmer than at the peak of the dry season, and surf on the southern coast can be changeable.
• Highland temperatures: Ubud, Kintamani and Bedugul can feel cooler, especially in the morning and at night.

Weather Outlook by Area

Note: the patterns above are general. Local conditions can differ, so always check current conditions before planning outdoor activities.

Riding Tips for the Early Rainy Season

The first rain after a long dry spell makes roads slippery, because oil and dust mix on the asphalt. A few practical things you can do:

1. Slow down on bends and on wet roads, especially on the routes toward Ubud and Bedugul.
2. Avoid sudden braking and leave more distance from the vehicle in front.
3. Switch on your headlight even when it is still bright, so you are more visible.
4. Bring a raincoat. SiapPergi offers raincoats as an add-on, from Rp15.000 for one or Rp25.000 for two.
5. Park in shaded spots and keep your belongings in waterproof bags.

What to Prepare Before Renting a Vehicle

Before you set off, check a few essentials. Licence requirements and riding rules are set by the authorities in Indonesia, such as the police and the Directorate General of Immigration. These rules can change, so check official sources before you travel.

• For a motorbike you need a SIM C, or, for foreign visitors, your home-country licence together with an International Driving Permit (IDP) that includes the motorcycle category.
• For a car, similar rules apply with the car category.
• Carry your passport or KTP as required.
