Weather: You can expect pleasant daytime temperatures between 20-33 degrees year round. Monsoon season occurs between December and March bringing heavy showers and high humidity, however days are usually sunny and rains occur mostly at night and pass quickly. From June to September the humidity is lower, evenings can be cool and rain in the coastal areas is rare.

Best Time to Visit: Always popular with Australians, Bali can be very busy during school holidays. If you are seeking a relaxing beach break, April to September offers the best climate and less tourist numbers

Average Cost of a Meal: If you choose to dine within Bali's top hotels you can expect to pay the same as at the equivalent category of hotel anywhere else in the world: Breakfasts from US$8 to US$45 per person, lunch and dinner from US$20 to US$100 per person. Prices do not include wine, which can be very expensive. On the other hand, restaurants outside the large tourist hotels are often 40- 50% cheaper, and the open food stalls still offer a tasty meal for a few thousand Rupiah
