Flores in November
Good time to visit

Weather
November sees increasing rainfall as the wet season approaches, though not yet at full intensity. Humidity climbs back up to around 80%, making hot days feel stickier. Afternoon storms become more frequent and longer-lasting than October.

All Months
April through September delivers Flores at its finest — dry roads, calm seas, and clear skies for crater lake photography. July and August bring peak crowds to Komodo National Park, so book boats early. October through March means monsoon season with muddy roads and rough waters around the islands. But here's the upside: accommodation prices drop 30-40% and you'll have trails mostly to yourself. Kelimutu's crater lakes look most dramatic after morning mist clears, typically around 8 AM year-round. Diving conditions peak May through October when visibility reaches 30 meters. December through February can wash out boat trips entirely, leaving you stranded in Labuan Bajo longer than planned.
