Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in ZA as well as at Bali, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in Bali

Bali experiences a wet season from November to March, which could affect travel plans. The peak tourist times are around the end of December to early January.

Busiest	mid Dec to early Jan — This period coincides with the Christmas and New Year holidays, attracting many tourists.
Quieter, still good	early Jun to late Jun — This month sees fewer tourists compared to the peak season yet offers good weather. early Oct to mid Nov — Transitioning into low season, visitors can enjoy better rates and fewer crowds.
Wet or stormy	mid Nov to late Mar — monsoon, moderate

This section was written by a language model from the climate figures above, and nobody has checked it. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe. The busiest and quieter periods here also count toward the crowd score, which is 20% of the ranking.
