Climate chart - Komodo
In Komodo, and on the nearby islands protected in the national park of the same name (Padar, Rinca, plus other smaller islands), the climate is tropical, hot all year round, with a muggy, rainy season from December to March and a dry season from June to September. We are in the Lesser Sunda Islands, at 8 degrees south latitude, between Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east.
Temperatures are high and quite uniform throughout the year. At night, temperatures are a bit lower from June to September, when the southeast monsoon blows and the minimum temperature can drop to 18/19 °C (64/66 °F). From September to November, and sometimes by mid-August, the hottest period of the year occurs, and the temperature can reach 35/37 °C (95/99 °F). In the rainy season, on the other hand, high humidity makes the heat muggy.
Here are the average temperatures.

From November to mid-May, but more often from January to mid-April, Komodo can be affected by tropical cyclones. Typically, cyclones do not hit Komodo directly, since they are formed on the Timor Sea and then move south-westard, between the Sunda Islands and Australia.

Best Time


The best time to travel to Komodo and enjoy its beaches goes from June to August: the sun shines, the heat is not too intense, and in any case, it's tempered by the breeze; there are just some short downpours or thunderstorms every now and then. In September, the rains have not started yet, but it starts to get very hot.

What to pack


All year round, bring light clothes of natural fibers, a sun hat, a scarf for the breeze, and a light sweatshirt for the evening. From December to March, add a light raincoat or umbrella.
When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
