March weather forecast
Indonesia

March in Indonesia marks the transitional period between the wet and dry seasons. While the month still experiences a significant amount of rainfall, it generally begins to decline as the month progresses. The average temperature remains constant, typically between 23°C (73.4°F) to 28°C (82.4°F). High-altitude regions such as those in Papua or the mountains of Java may see slightly lower temperatures.

This represents a noticeable decrease from the peak rainy season months of January and February. The island of Bali, a renowned tourist hotspot, also sees a reduction in rainfall with an average of approximately 200mm (7.87") in March.

When compared to February, the weather in March represents a gradual shift towards drier conditions. This trend becomes more evident as the country heads into April, where many regions, particularly in the western and central parts, continue to experience a significant decline in rainfall, signalling the onset of the dry season.

For those travelling in March, it is advisable to be prepared for varying weather conditions, as sunny days may still be interspersed with occasional showers. This transitional period can still offer a rich experience for visitors, with verdant landscapes and a relatively lower number of tourists compared to the peak travel periods. However, caution should be exercised in areas prone to occasional flooding or landslides due to residual effects of the wet season.
