Like July, absolute dry season. Usually we expect the least rainfall. Bali’s temperatures are pretty much the same all year round, but in many ways August is the hottest month.
And, yes, still high season. prices for hotel rooms and villa rentals are up, at the same level of christmas and new Year’s; and the south of Bali is really busy (Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, Sanur, Nusa Dua, Benoa.
Lots of things are happening all over the island. And although you might get the odd rain shower you will see the sunny sides of Bali.
