WeatherClimate: There are many local differences in climate within Indonesia mainly due to the islands exposure to two main seasonal wind systems. The east monsoon from June to September brings dry weather while the west monsoon from December to March brings rain. Temperatures are high throughout the year with little change from month to month. Heaviest rainfalls are recorded in December to March. Humidity is between 60% and 95% and can often be oppressive
Clothing: Dress is normally casual and light clothing is advisable due to the hot and humid climate. Trousers or slacks and shirts are generally considered appropriate but a jacket and tie are required for formal occasions or when making official calls. For certain formal occasions long-sleeved batik shirts are acceptable. For travel to mountain areas, a light sweater or jacket is recommended. Halter tops and shorts are frowned upon in most places except around sports facilities or on the beach. Proper decorum should especially be observed when visiting places of worship
