November Weather in Denpasar: A Closer Look

November sees the wet season return to Denpasar. Rainfall climbs to 179mm across 17 days, and humidity rises to 80%. Temperatures remain at 31°C highs and 24°C lows. Sea temperatures warm to approximately 29°C as the thermocline shifts back. The UV index is 7. Rain arrives increasingly in the afternoons, with mornings often still clear — typically from mid-morning onwards the heat and humidity build to a tipping point before a tropical downpour breaks the pressure. This cycle becomes more predictable as November progresses. Tourism drops sharply after the October shoulder season, which means genuine low-season pricing and quiet attractions. The Melasti purification ceremony cycle may also begin in November in some years ahead of year-end observances. Nusa Penida is still accessible from Sanur in calm morning sea conditions, though afternoon swells can make the crossing rough.
