The rainy seasons in Bali and Ubud are in winter, lasting from about December to March. The island has an equatorial monsoon climate. There are no sharp temperature changes, the sun rises at 6 am and sets at 6 pm, by seven it is already dark.
The dry season lasts from May to October. The off-season in April and November is popular with tourists. But the driest months of July and August are also the windiest, which means that it is not so stuffy.
The time when the rainy seasons begin in Ubud does not make these places less popular among tourists. True, the decline of the season begins in January and February, although many visitors like to celebrate the new year here. In the middle and end of winter, it rains almost constantly, although the sun also comes out from time to time.
So it's up to you when you decide to come here. It can be stuffy in May, June, September, when the humidity is quite high and the winds are less. In this case it is better to walk in the mornings or evenings, and make sure that your clothes are blown through even a slight breeze, and are comfortable and light.
Beauty and wildlife in Bali
The vegetation in Ubud is colorful and evergreen, just like anywhere else with a tropical climate. Palm trees, flowering shrubs, and brightly colored flowers await you almost all year round. Visit the Botanic Garden Ubud, where hibiscus, jasmine, chrysanthemums, cacti, orchids and bamboo bloom. They also organize high-altitude BaliTopTree walks here.
The animal life in Ubud is less diverse due to civilization. But in any case, you can find geckos, bats, and varans in the city. There are also spiders, ants and praying mantises.
Reptiles and bats are hard at work fighting them, so there is little need to drive them out. There are also snakes in Bali, including poisonous ones. You are unlikely to meet them in the city center or in a closed hotel with high fences. But if you are lucky enough to live somewhere near the rice paddies closer to the wilderness of Ubud, beware of going out at night without a flashlight and a stick.
The western Bali National Park (Taman Nasional Bali Barat) is home to wildlife such as gray and black monkeys, deer, squirrels, and iguanas. There are at least three hundred species of birds of the brightest colors.
