Meteo Tempio di Uluwatu in marzo

Ubud-forum threads on a March visit describe the rice fields as genuinely lush this time of year, posters calling late March a reliably good window for green terraces somewhere in the wider Ubud area. Regulars call Nyepi Day, the Balinese New Year falling on the seventeenth, a real planning factor, visitors required to stay inside accommodation from six the morning of the seventeenth until six the following morning. Posters call March still within the tail end of the wet season, conditions considered warm and humid overall. Regulars call the Monkey Forest, Ubud market, Campuhan Ridge Walk, rice terraces, waterfalls, temples and cooking classes all real March options once Nyepi restrictions lift. Posters recommend real light layers and sun protection regardless of any passing shower, humidity here genuinely persistent through the month. The record: 30.2C days feeling like 34C, 23.9C nights, an extraordinarily high 316.9mm across nearly 30 days and 82 percent humidity.

Uluwatu-forum and surf-guide threads on July agree it's the peak of the low-rain season and the peak of the swell: the year's biggest groundswells arrive this month, reliable SE trade winds blow offshore into the Bukit Peninsula's west-facing breaks every morning, and rainfall runs among its lowest totals of the year. The trade-off is crowding - the lineup itself is described as resembling a small city by mid-month, though most surfers call the wave quality worth it. Wind is the other consistent theme: mornings run clean and glassy, but afternoons turn genuinely blustery, choppy enough to affect snorkeling and noticeable enough that clifftop restaurant tables catch a steady breeze through the evening. Warm, sunny days are the norm. The record: 27.4C days, 24.5C nights, 57mm across 18 days, a 27.6C sea, 73 percent humidity and 10.9 hours of sun - more scattered rain days than the guides' "minimal rainfall" framing suggests.
