In Indonesia it is very warm all year round, but a distinction is made between rainy and dry seasons. Due to the warm, heavy rains, the humidity rises during the former, which many travelers find less pleasant. Since Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands, it is difficult to define the best time to travel, but most islands have a dry season from May to October. These months are therefore considered to be particularly recommended for a trip to Indonesia. During the rainy season, which is considered the off-season, there is less activity and prices are lower.
