Beginning of dry season; increasingly reliable for beaches and excursions.
April is where Bali's dry season begins. Rain drops sharply from March, the island is lush after the wet months, and beaches and excursions become increasingly reliable. It is an early step into the better weather before the big crowds arrive. This guide explains what Bali is like in April: the weather, how busy it is, what to plan and who the month suits. Figures are typical values from our destination research, so check a forecast before you travel.
Daytime highs are about 31°C and nights about 24°C. Rainfall is about 90 mm and humidity is about 78 percent. Conditions are increasingly reliable for beaches and excursions, though a shower can still happen, so keep a light layer handy.
April suits first-time visitors who want reliable weather without the busiest weeks. It works for couples, friends and families, and it is a good time to combine culture with beach days. Travellers who want the most settled conditions may still prefer May to September.
April is far drier than March, with about 90 mm against 215 mm, but wetter than May, which has about 75 mm. It sits at the start of the April to October dry season, so it is a reasonable shoulder choice. Next door, March and May have their own guides.
April is a month to trust the trend, not the calendar. Rain eases through the month, so the week matters as much as the month. Ask your planner what the recent weeks looked like before fixing outdoor activities. Because crowds are lighter than in July and August, popular spots are easier to visit, but traffic in the south remains heavy at any time of year.
