Lombok in February
Not the best time
February continues the wet season misery with flooding and cancelled tours. Hotels offer rock-bottom prices but you'll be trapped indoors most afternoons.
Weather
Still deep in wet season with frequent heavy rains and oppressive humidity around 85%. Morning can be clear but clouds build by afternoon into evening storms. Roads in rural areas often flood.

All Months
April through September delivers Lombok's best weather – dry skies, steady trade winds, and comfortable temperatures around 28°C. This is also peak season, so expect higher prices and busier beaches, especially on the Gilis. July and August see the biggest crowds as European summer holidays kick in. May and September offer the sweet spot: great weather with fewer tourists and better deals on accommodation. The wet season runs October through March, but don't write it off completely. December and January bring heavy rains that can last for days, making Mount Rinjani treks impossible and turning dirt roads into mud pits. But February and March see lighter, shorter showers that cool things down nicely. Plus, accommodation prices drop by 40% and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself. Just pack a rain jacket and embrace the tropical drama. Ramadan affects the entire island – restaurants close during daylight hours and the party scene dims considerably.
