The Climate
Indonesia's climate is definitely tropical. There is no Autumn
or Winter and distinctive "dry" and "wet"
seasons share the year. The East Monsoon, from June to September,
brings dry weather while the West Monsoon, from December to March
is moistureladen, bringing rain.
The transitional period between these two seasons is interspersed
by the occasional heavy rain shower, but even in the midst of the
West Monsson season, temperatures range from 21 degrees (70_F) to
33 degrees celcious 190_F except at higher altitudes which
can be much cooler.
Heaviest rainfalls are usually recorded in December and January
and humidity is generally between 75% and 100%.
