Amed Weather in December

December brings the wet season in full to Amed's volcanic coast, yet Mount Agung's rain shadow keeps rainfall at around 130 mm over 12 days — roughly half of what Seminyak and Denpasar receive. Temperatures are 32°C by day and 25°C at night, with humidity at 78%. Rain arrives primarily in afternoon and evening bursts, keeping mornings usable for diving and snorkeling on most days. The USAT Liberty wreck continues to host its resident marine life in all seasons; December visibility fluctuates between 8 and 15 metres depending on rainfall, but the wreck's extraordinary species diversity — including resident turtles, moray eels, lionfish, and thousands of schooling reef fish — is present year-round. Amed during the Christmas and New Year period is the polar opposite of the party scene at Kuta or Seminyak. A handful of guesthouses and dive centres host quiet Christmas dinners and New Year gatherings, but the overall atmosphere is intimate, relaxed, and genuinely local. The fishing village landscape, with green-freshened hillsides behind volcanic black sand and traditional jukung boats, is beautiful even under overcast December skies. December in Amed is a strong choice for divers and travellers who want a peaceful alternative to Bali's commercialised south.
