Seasonality in the data and identical values in the NASA grid
In the 2001-2025 NASA POWER raster, Ubud and Kuta fall into the same grid cell and therefore show identical values across all twelve months, with mean temperatures staying between 23.5 °C (July) and 26.2 °C (November).
Monthly precipitation shows the main seasonal contrast: dropping to 1.3 mm/day in July and 0.9 mm/day in August before rising to 8.8 mm/day in December and 10.2 mm/day in January. On the ground, inland hills around Ubud and central volcano rims experience cooler nights and earlier cloud build-up than the southern beaches.
- Mid-year drier window (June to September): lowest monthly precipitation means (0.9 to 2.1 mm/day) and slightly cooler 23.5 to 24.4 °C mean temperatures.
- Transition months (April-May and October): intermediate precipitation means (1.8 to 4.1 mm/day) suited to splitting time between Ubud and the coast.
- Wetter monsoon months (December to March): highest precipitation means (7.2 to 10.2 mm/day); schedule outdoor walks for early morning and check the local weather report before boat crossings.

Compare the stops on your route
Compare months within each point first, then compare the same month between points. Choose dates around your own route and activities. The table does not assign a universal best travel month to Bali.
What this Bali grid does not separate
The Denpasar and Ubud requests return identical monthly values in this dataset. They are not two independent observations of coastal and inland climate differences. High-elevation trips and individual stays need additional local information.
Use the comparison for trip planning
- Check which named point is relevant to the stops on your actual route.
- Compare warmer and cooler months with your planned activities. A monthly mean includes both day and night.
- Keep alternatives for weather-dependent plans and check a local forecast close to departure.
- Do not infer rain hours, rainy-day counts or severe-weather risk from millimetres per day.
