Weather in Bali in June
Bali has two seasons: wet and dry. Wet season runs from October to April. And dry season runs from May to September.
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, June falls in the middle of the dry season in Bali. That means lower humidity and fewer rainy days than during wet season.
In terms of temperature, the average high temperature in Bali in June is 26.5 degrees Celsius, or 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
It rains an average of 6 days in June. And there is an average of 5 centimeters of rainfall.

Pancasila Day — 1 June 2027Â
The nation of Indonesia was founded on 1 June 1945. On that day, President Sukarno gave a famous speech outlining the five principles that would become the foundation of Indonesia.
- Belief in the supreme God
- Justice and civility among peoples
- Unity of Indonesia
- Democracy through deliberation and consensus among representatives
- Social justice for all the people of Indonesia
Pancasila Day is a national holiday in Indonesia. Schools and most businesses are closed. Interestingly, it is a relatively new holiday in Indonesia. While it has been recognized since 1945, Pancasila Day only became an official holiday in 2016. And it is always celebrated on June First.
In Bali, Pancasila Day is known as Conversation Between the Sky and the Earth.

Pagerwesi — 2 June 2027

Tumpek Landep — 12 June 2027
Â
On Tumpek Landep, Hindu believers hang handmade offerings from vehicles and other metal objects and pray to the God of Heirlooms to sharpen their minds.
On this day devotees make offerings to objects that are made of metal. In addition to ceremonial objects, the custom extends to modern objects such as mobile phones, computers, automobiles, and bicycles.
On one of my trips to Bali, I was surprised to see employees at my hotel arriving with offerings dangling from the fronts of their cars and motor scooters. When I inquired, an employee told me about Tumpek Landep. Moreover, he accompanied me to a nearby temple that evening, where I was able to observe the tail end of a beautiful ceremony.
Only in Bali!!!
Tumpek Landep is one of the six auspicious days on the Balinese Pawukon Calendar. In fact, it is the first day of the cycle.
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.
Upcoming Tumpek Landep Dates:Â 8 January 2028 and 5 August 2028
