In December - February, the rainy season begins. In different years, it can vary in intensity and timing. During the rainy season, it doesn't necessarily mean that it rains all day and every day. However, there is regular cloud cover, and the sun is not as intense. Due to the humidity, you might sweat a lot. The higher the location on Bali, the more humid it tends to be, and there's a higher chance of rain.

For example, Ubud gets more rain compared to Nusa Dua or Canggu.

During this time, many Europeans, as well as Russians, travel to Bali. Generally, the rainy season is considered the low season in Bali except for the period that includes Christmas and New Year (peak season) and Chinese New Year (high season).
