Indonesia’s climate is well known for its tropical dual seasons, dry and rainy. However, in recent years, the dry season (usually between May and September) has become increasingly unpredictable. Many parts of Bali now experience what’s known as a “wet dry season” (Kemarau Basah) a period where sunshine is frequently interrupted by heavy rain and rising humidity.
This climate shift, driven by global warming and changing weather patterns, poses new health challenges for locals and travelers alike. Understanding how to protect your health during this unusual season is essential, especially if you’re living or holidaying in Bali.
What Is a Wet Dry Season?
A wet dry season refers to a dry season that experiences frequent or sudden rainfall. While it might still be drier than Bali’s monsoon months, it brings:
- Unstable weather conditions
- High humidity and moisture in the air
- Increased temperature swings
- Greater mold and bacteria growth
These environmental shifts can directly affect your body’s ability to stay healthy and comfortable.
Common Health Risks During a Wet Dry Season
Humidity and fluctuating temperatures create the perfect environment for health issues to arise, including:
- Respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, and sinus infections
- Fungal and skin infections
- Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever
- Digestive issues from contaminated food or water due to flooding
Weakened immune system due to constant weather changes
How to Stay Healthy During Bali’s Wet Dry Season
1. Stay Hydrated
High humidity can be deceptive, it makes you sweat more, even when you’re not aware of it. Drink plenty of filtered or bottled water daily. Add electrolytes if you’re outdoors or sweating frequently.
2. Boost Your Immune System
Get enough sleep, consume fruits rich in vitamin C (like oranges and papayas), and consider IV vitamin infusions for a stronger immune defense.

3. Practice Good Hygiene
Frequent rain can lead to dirty floodwater, especially in urban areas. Always wash your hands after being outside and avoid eating food from unhygienic sources.
4. Protect Against Mosquitoes
Standing water breeds mosquitoes. Use repellent, sleep under nets if needed, and wear light, long-sleeved clothing outdoors in the evening.
5. Use a Nebulizer for Breathing Comfort
Those with asthma or allergies may find their symptoms worsen. Nebulizer treatments can help open airways and reduce discomfort during humid days.
