Погода: Чангу, ноябрь

May opens the dry season here and regulars describe the shape of it rather than the total: overcast until about half past eight then sunny, with rain overnight, at breakfast, or as a downpour about four that has cleared by evening - and on this coast the showers often last five or ten minutes. Our 93.9mm across 15 days is that pattern, not a wet month, though 85 percent humidity turns 30.4C into a felt 36C. The surf reason for coming is the same season: the west side of the island works while the dry-season winds hold. The sea is 28.6C and nights stay at 25.3C. The record: 10.6 hours of sun, a 16.6 kph wind and AQI 48.

Bali-forum threads on December weather (Canggu specifically flagged in beach-condition threads) are consistent that the wet season is genuinely underway, but outcomes vary wildly by trip: one detailed account logged just about two hours of rain total across three weeks spanning mid-December into early January, surfing and swimming at Canggu and nearby beaches without any real weather problem. Other posters describe a more typical wet-season stretch of downpours and cloudy stretches. Bali's microclimates mean a rainy day in Ubud can be a clear one in Canggu or Sanur, so conditions genuinely differ block to block. The recurring practical warning: wet-season currents wash rubbish onto some beaches, worth checking locally. Crowds and traffic climb steadily from mid-December regardless of the weather. The record: 30.9C days feeling like a punishing 37C, 25.3C nights, a notably high 270mm across 28 days, 86 percent humidity, a 29.8C sea and 9.7 hours of sun.

Bali-forum threads on January weather (Canggu specifically flagged in local-flooding discussions) describe the peak of the wet season - heavier, more frequent rain than the shoulder months, December and January the two wettest. Experiences swing widely: some visitors log an unbroken run of rainy days, others get a brief afternoon or overnight downpour followed by hours of genuine sun. One account logged just two hours of rain across eighteen days spanning a December-January stay. Canggu gets a specific mention for street flooding after the heaviest storms and beach-side rubbish washing up more often. Despite the wet-season label, posters say cafes, surf breaks and bars all stay open. The record: 30.8C days feeling like a sticky 37C, 25.1C nights, a notably high 258mm across nearly 28 days, 86 percent humidity, a 29C sea and 9.2 hours of sun - the wettest entry on Canggu's whole calendar, backing the flooding reports directly.

Bali-forum threads on September call it a genuinely good surf and beach month: consistent offshore wind and reliable reef breaks through the May-to-September window that make it a favorite among surfers specifically, June and September singled out for combining good conditions with thinner crowds. The general weather read is mostly settled with little precipitation, and when a shower does show up it tends to land in the evening or overnight as a short, sharp downpour rather than an all-day event. Posters are quick to add that Bali's microclimates mean conditions vary block to block, inland running wetter than the coast as a rule. The record: 29.7C days feeling like a sticky 34C, 24C nights, 77mm across 11.1 days, an 86 percent humidity, a 27.8C sea and 11 hours of sun.
