Indonesiawhen to go
Indonesia's national averages run from 29 °C in July to 30 °C in October, with rainfall between 212 mm in July and 350 mm in March and 4.4–5.5 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are January, February and March. Its 33 regions span 28–31 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal.
