Indonesia has a tropical climate, characterised by warm temperatures and high humidity year-round. While conditions vary across the archipelago, most regions experience two main seasons: a dry season (typically from May to October) and a wet season (usually November to April), though exact timing can differ depending on the island. Temperatures in coastal and lowland areas generally range from 25°C to 32°C (77°F to 90°F), while higher elevations, such as in central Java or parts of Flores and Papua, can be significantly cooler, particularly in the evenings. Rainfall is often heavy but brief, and in many areas, travel is still possible during the wet season, although trekking trails can become slippery and some road conditions more challenging. Humidity can be high throughout the year, especially in rainforest regions and during the wetter months. Lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended, along with sun protection and adequate hydration. Weather can be unpredictable in mountain areas, so layered clothing and rain protection are advisable. As a vast island nation, Indonesia’s climate is influenced by regional geography, so it’s best to check the seasonal conditions specific to your destination and activity.
