Like many cities in Southeast Asia, Jakarta basically has just two seasons – wet and dry. The dry season is from June till September. Temperatures fluctuate little over the course of the year so the dry season is the best time to go sightseeing in the city.

JUN-SEPT: As described, this is the dry season in Jakarta and typically the best time to go. You’ll be treated to clear skies and about 11-12 hours of sunlight everyday.

OCT-MAY: This is rainy season in Jakarta and not an ideal time to go. As you can see in the rainfall graphs below, January and February are the wettest months.
