We are at December 20th and the wet season hasn’t really shown up. Sure there have been the occassional morning shower, but mostly its been dry here in Seminyak.
My friends from Oregon were looking forward to hot sunny days, and that’s what they got. It was cooking down on the Bukit today! Our 10 day weather forecast says the sunny weather will continue, with a 10%-20% chance of rain. Great news for tourists coming for Christmas/ New Years. The western part of Indonesia get more rain than Bali. Recently, the north of the country got hammered with a storm, the Batam area suffering damage.
Visitors to Bali should bring the sunblock and hat. We’ve all been doing that and still got caught out in places. I wore a wide brim felt hat all day today, still got a bit pink on my abdomen, which doesn’t get out much. Staying hydrated is key also. I see westeners, who look like they are suffering sometimes. You get someone a bit overweight, out in the sun, no hat, dehydrated, not a happy camper. I’m encouraging my friends to knock back a Pocari Sweat, isotonic drik now and then (found in every Circle K).
