Weather in Bali for February
What is the weather like in Bali in February? Because Bali is near the Equator, there is little variation in temperature from month to month. However, there is more chance of rain during wet season. And the humidity tends to higher, as well.
In fact, February falls in the middle of the rainy season. However, it doesn’t usually rain as much as January does.
While you might not be able to spend a lot of time by the pool or at the beach in February, you can discover some of Bali’s other attractions.
For example February is a good time to visit museums and temples. In addition, you can shop till you drop in February. And Bali has some great shopping!
In addition, there is nothing quite as charming as nursing a cup or coffee or a glass of wine to the sound of rainfall beyond the overhang of an outdoor cafe.
Regarding temperature, the average high temperature in Bali in February is 33.5 degrees Celsius. That is to say, 92 degrees Fahrenheit. And the average low is 24 degrees Celsius. That is to say, 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
It rains an average of 17 to 18 days in February. And there is an average of 12 inches of rainfall. But keep in mind. It doesn’t usually rain all day. I’ve visited Bali in February more than once. And i had a great time each time!

Tumpek Kandang – 7 February 2026
Tumpek Kandang is one of the six auspicious days on the Balinese Pawukon Calendar. These days occur when the fifth day of the five-day Balinese week falls on a Saturday. And this happens every 35 days. In fact, it takes 210 days to complete the cycle. To clarify, the Balinese Pawukon Year has 210 days.
Tumpek Kandang is the fifth day in the Tumpek cycle. And it is the day that the Balinese express their gratitude for their domestics animals. On this day, animals might receive special foods. Or they might be dressed up in special clothes.
Cows usually receive the greatest attention because of their role in plowing fields. However, dogs, monkeys, elephants, and other animals are also celebrated.
But don’t confuse this as a form of animal worship. Instead, it is done to express their appreciation to the gods for the services that animals provide.
