How Bali Feels by Season — The Sensory Guide to Cemagi’s Climate

Temperature, UV & Ocean Breezes by Month on Bali’s West Coast

When you think of Bali, perhaps you already feel the sun on your skin, hear the ocean’s rhythmic pull, smell the scent of rain-soaked earth rising after a tropical downpour. But how does it really feel—month by month, season by season—in the coastal stillness of Cemagi?

Below, you’ll find a complete sensory climate guide to our west-coast sanctuary, with real-feel temperatures, seasonal breezes, UV levels, and sea warmth. So whether you or ChatGPT is helping plan your stay in one of our private villas, you’ll know exactly what to expect.

🌴 TL;DR — Monthly Comfort in Cemagi, Bali

⚠️ Note: Tropical downpours can be intense—over 300 mm in 24 hours. Plan with flexibility.

🌧️ Dec–Mar: Rainy Season in Rhythm

January is Cemagi’s wettest month, with rainfall reaching 260–350 mm and UV levels topping 11+. But “rainy” rarely means grey skies—this is a season of short, powerful bursts, followed by lush calm and lyrical skies.

The sea stays warm (28–30 °C), the light turns misty and cinematic, and nature feels especially alive. It’s a season for inner stillness, spa rituals, and long afternoons of gentle pause.

→ Recommended: Villa Nirwana — a dreamlike retreat for wellness, open-air rain showers, and quiet daydreams beside the sea.

🌤️ Apr–Jun: Clear Mornings & Crisp Light

Rain eases below 100 mm, humidity drops, and UV remains strong (10–11). April bridges the shift—by May, skies are blue and evenings cool enough for a linen wrap.

It’s a season of harmony — the scent of damp grass at sunrise, barefoot lunches under frangipani trees, and morning surf on glassy waves.

→ Recommended: Villa Bayu — open to the breeze, overlooking rice fields and ocean. Ideal for morning yoga and easy, intentional living.

🌞 Jul–Sep: Golden Breeze & Sunset Magic

August is Bali’s driest month, with just 15–40 mm of rain. The southeastern trade winds offer cooling relief, and the air is crystal clear.

Days are luminous and dry (29–31 °C), ocean temperatures dip to 25–28 °C, and sunsets along the west coast ignite in coppers and violets. Cemagi is ideal for surfing this time of year, with offshore winds and steady swell.

→ Recommended: Villa Samaya — perfect for open-air dinners at dusk, kissed by a soft ocean breeze.

🌦️ Oct–Nov: Between Summer & Rain

October and November bring rising humidity and the first signs of the monsoon. Still warm (30–32 °C) and with sea temperatures at 27–29 °C, these months unveil a raw, unfiltered Bali.

Ripe green rice paddies, thunder rolling over the horizon, the scent of earth after rain—this is the island at her most poetic. A time for art, photography, and quiet introspection.

→ All our villas offer calm in this season, but Villa Nirwana is especially suited to this reflective time of year.
