* Sanur: The model cells nearest Sanur are over the sea, so its past rain comes from the same land cell as Seminyak and the two match.

* Amed: The nearest model cell lies on the slopes of Mount Agung, so these rain totals are likely higher than on the coast at Amed itself.

January against the months around it

Planning a trip in January

Forecasts by MET Norway. Climate figures are averages for 2021–2025 from Open-Meteo open data (ECMWF IFS model, about a 9 km grid), corrected to each town’s altitude. They are good for comparing months and areas; one beach or valley can differ, and the model has more light drizzle than rain gauges record, so we show monthly totals rather than rainy days. 2021 to 2023 were La Niña years, which made Indonesia’s dry seasons wetter than usual, so these averages run a little wet against a long-term normal.
