Bali weather in November 2026
“Mild and bright — an underrated time to visit.”
Roughly 28 rainy days across the month, on average.
November hits Bali at 20.4°C (69°F) for highs and 14.4°C (58°F) at night—genuinely cool by local standards, especially before dawn. You'll see 278mm of rain spread across 28 days, which means afternoon downpours are nearly guaranteed but mornings often stay dry. With 10 hours of sunshine daily, you're getting decent light between showers. The air feels heavy and humid in the mornings; by evening, a steady breeze rolls through and things cool down noticeably.
This is the tail end of the wet season, so you'll notice fewer tour buses and significantly fewer resort guests. The rice paddies are lush and vivid green, locals are moving through daily life without the tourist rush, and restaurant tables have actual space. Prices drop noticeably—hotels and tours run 20-30% cheaper than peak season. Balinese temples still hold regular ceremonies, and the quieter streets mean you can actually explore without crowds.
Over the past decade, November has remained consistently wet, with rainfall patterns staying reliable around 250-300mm. 2026 is tracking with historical norms—no major climate anomalies expected. The temperature range has stayed stable too, so what worked for travelers ten years ago still applies.
November suits travelers who don't mind rain, photographers chasing moody light and green landscapes, budget-conscious visitors, and anyone seeking authentic local atmosphere without the peak-season circus. Bring quick-dry clothes, a compact rain jacket, and expect to plan indoor activities for afternoons. The upside: fewer queues at temples, better deals on accommodation, and genuinely warm interactions with locals who aren't exhausted from tourist season.
Canggu is expats and Bukit is surfers; real Bali culture concentrates in Sidemen and Amed on the east coast, still untouched by rooftop bars. Nyepi in March shuts everything including airport for 24 silent hours. Never step over an offering (canang sari) on the sidewalk. The best babi guling is Ibu Oka in Ubud only before 1pm; after that it is scraps. Traffic between Ubud and Seminyak takes 2 hours regardless of Google Maps optimism.
