The 'rainy season' in the rest of SE Asia would coincide with 'Monsoon Season' which starts in June and usually ends in Nov. sometime. This year it kept raining 'till the middle of Dec. It's the cool & dry season now. It starts heating up in March. April & May are the hottest & July, Aug, & Sept are the wettest - usually. wj
Summer in Bali is the cool (not a bad thing) but WINDY season. Good for surfing but utterly horrible on many beaches for swimming, especially with families.
