Best Time to Go Visit Jakarta

Scattered across the equator, the temperature in Jakarta remains hot (around 30C) and humid throughout the year with two distinct seasons: wet and dry. The dry or high season lasts between May and September and the wet or low season falls between October and April.

Travel in the wet season (tropical monsoon) is possible but not advisable: the drainage system of the capital is ill-suited to manage the downpours of rain. The dry season is the best time to visit (May until September). You may consider avoiding the major holiday periods as prices tend to skyrocket. These are the end of Ramadan, Christmas, and the high school graduation period between mid-June and mid-July.
