Indonesia Climate
The climate in Indonesia varies from tropical to subarctic, depending on location and time of year. Most parts of the country receive rainfall in the summer months (October-December). In some areas there are two rainy seasons: an early one that runs from April through June, followed by a second one that occurs during November through February. However, even during these months there can be heavy rainfall at times when it rains for several days in a row. Rainfall can also occur at any time during the year within any given location.
Indonesia is a country located on the island of Java, with Sumatra to the west and Borneo to the east. It is the world’s largest archipelago nation. Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands which are divided into two geographical regions — Lesser Sunda Islands (Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa and Flores) in the north and Greater Sunda Islands (Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Kalimantan) in the south. The country’s total land area is 283,847 km2 (110,847 sq mi).
Indonesia was a Dutch colony until 1945 and was governed by an elected colonial council. It became independent in 1945 as a constitutional monarchy under Sukarno and then declared a republic in 1949. Sukarno was President fromsemploying emergency powers until 1966; he then resigned amid mounting political pressure from his former comrades-in-arms. An attempt to hold an election for a new president failed in 1967. Following this failed attempt at democracy Sukarno’s rule became increasingly authoritarian and he revoked all Indonesian political parties except his own nationalist party, Golkar (Great Indonesian Movement).

When to Go
Generally the best time to visit this beautiful enchanting country is in the dryer months of May to September.
Indonesia’s impressive chain of tropical islands has a dry season which lasts from May to September and marks the time the country receives its most foreign visitors. The rainy season occurs from October to April. For more remote islands it is best to check local weather sources as the monsoon shifts.
Indonesia’s dry season is characterised by generally warm to hot tropical sunny weather with occasional afternoon rain showers which typically don’t last longer than an hour or two. In the rainy season the afternoon showers can last up to four to five hours bringing with it surges of water that can flood some areas. The weather in mountainous and highland areas experience cooler weather than the heat of lower coastal areas in both seasons.
Light clothes for this hot tropical climate are a must. Plenty of undergarments and socks as well as walking shoes for any adventures like temple viewing or jungle treks. Be advised that many places require long conservative dress for holy sites. A light sweater or jacket is also advisable for air-conditioned transportation or highland areas.

ART & ARCHITECTURE
Indonesia has a great variety of folk and classical arts, all of which are an integral part of traditional life and have been influenced by very different foreign cultures over the years including the ancient Indian and Chinese civilisations. Balinese art and architecture is heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist temple art. Due to its tropical climate, many different cultures have flourished in Indonesia for thousands of years. In addition to Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam have also influenced Indonesian art and architecture throughout history. The most notable examples include Borobudur Temple Complex in Central Java, Prambanan Temple Complex in Yogyakarta, Borobudur Temple in Magelang Regency and Candi Sukuh Temple. Bali is a centre of arts and crafts, producing exquisite sculptures, paintings, textiles, woodcarvings and intricate silver and gold jewellery.
PEOPLE
Indonesia is a country of islands and peninsulas, with more than 17,000 islands. The largest island is Java, which is located in the western part of the country. The central administration of Indonesia is located in Jakarta, which is also the capital city. Broadly speaking, four population groups have migrated to Indonesia over the centuries: the Negritos, the Australoids, the Proto-Malays and the Deutro-Malays. The Chinese are among Indonesia’s most recent immigrants, and although they are a tiny minority, they are an important part of society and control a large portion of Indonesia’s wealth. The main ethnic groups today are the Javanese, followed by the Sundanese, Madurese and coastal Malays. Among other groups such as the Dayaks in Kalimantan and the Irianese who live in very remote areas, there are some people that may never have seen a foreigner.
