Weather for Jakarta

Best time to visit: 

Jakarta has a tropical climate and any time of year is fine for a visit, although floods can affect the city in the Wet season. The Dry season - between May and September - is the best time to visit Jakarta as temperatures are in the low 30°C (86°F) but crucially the humidity starts to drop in the city. Prices tend to skyrocket during major holidays like Christmas and the end of Ramadan.
