The middle of July marks the traditional start of peak season in Bali and Lombok when prices are at their highest for both airfares and hotels. This coincides with the driest and sunniest time of year in Bali and Lombok.

Sumbawa, Flores and Komodo Island have climates similar to Bali.

The islands of Nusa Tenggara should see long clear days of sunshine and little rainfall.

Java and Sumatra should expect long clear days of sunshine and little rainfall at this time of year. Temperature and humidity can be high in Java and Sumatra.

In Sulawesi, the south of the island is affected by the Southwest monsoon, so heavy rains can be expected in J. In the north of Sulawesi by contrast, around Manado, this is the dry season as the north is affected by a different monsoon system.
