We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Indonesia, covering the last 12 years up to 2026, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Indonesia weather in October.
How hot is it in Indonesia during October?
October is typically the hottest month in Indonesia. The temperature hits about 33℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 25℃ at night.The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Indonesia during October?
On average, there will be 4 rainy days during the month, amounting to 62.9mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Indonesia during October?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in October. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a very welcome cooling effect.
