Ubud weather,
live right now

April to October, Bali's dry season. Cooler, drier, lower humidity, 24 to 30°C. June to August is peak tourist season with highest prices. Shoulder months (April-May, September-October) are often the sweet spot. November to March is rainy season with daily storms, but Ubud actually suits rainy season (lush rice fields, atmospheric cafés, cheaper rates). July can see cool evenings dropping to 17 to 19°C.

Ubud is in the central highlands, roughly 1 hour from the airport and the beach. It is noticeably cooler (3 to 5°C cooler than Seminyak or Kuta), focused on culture (dance, art, yoga), surrounded by rice terraces and jungle. The beach areas have surf, nightlife, resorts. Many visitors split a trip: 3-4 days Ubud, 3-4 days at the beach.

Central Ubud (Jalan Monkey Forest, Jalan Hanoman) is very touristy, with heavy traffic and commercialisation. However, villages 5 to 15 minutes out (Penestanan, Sanggingan, Kedewatan) are quieter, more residential, with rice-field views. Where you stay matters. Early morning (before 09:00) even central Ubud feels manageable.

Dry season (April-October) nights can drop to 18 to 22°C, which feels cold after a tropical day. June-August nights occasionally hit 16 to 17°C. Rainy season nights stay warmer (22 to 25°C). Open-air restaurants often have blankets. If you are staying in a villa with open-air bathrooms, the mornings can feel chilly.
