Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Weather read at Jungutbatu: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.
A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

What Nusa Lembongan is like
Nusa Lembongan is a small island off the southeast coast of the main island of Bali. Fast becoming one of Bali's most popular attractions, this island is a world away from the hassle and hectic pace of South Bali. More on Wikivoyage
- Worth seeing
- The attractions here are mostly natural. The beaches and other coastal landscapes are obviously a key draw, as are the sunsets. More on Wikivoyage
- Worth doing
- Activities are very much water-based, with surfing and scuba diving being especially notable. Yoga Shack Lembongan, Secret Garden Bungalows, Jungutbatu. Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin drop in classes. More on Wikivoyage
- Getting in
- The only realistic way (although you can charter a helicopter) to reach Nusa Lembongan from Bali is by boat. There are several options according to budget and speed. More on Wikivoyage
- Staying safe
- This is a safe island and reports of crime, major or minor, are rare. Most common is the theft of items left in unlocked rooms, so as you would anywhere in the world, just be sensible. More on Wikivoyage
- Staying healthy
- There are a few small clinics in the Jungut Batu area. Some have a small van for use as an ambulance. More on Wikivoyage
