Makassar in June
Great time to visit
June marks the beginning of peak season with perfect weather but increasing crowds. The lack of rain makes every day a good day for sightseeing, but expect to pay premium prices.
Weather
June brings the start of the true dry season with virtually no rain and consistently sunny skies. Temperatures climb slightly but the low humidity (around 68%) keeps things comfortable. Evening breezes off the Makassar Strait provide natural air conditioning.

All Months
April through September gives you the best weather - dry, breezy, and perfect for walking around the old quarter. May and June are ideal, with temperatures around 28°C and minimal rain. July and August bring more tourists (though still manageable numbers), while September offers the sweet spot of good weather and fewer crowds. The wet season from October to March isn't a total write-off, but afternoon thunderstorms can be intense. Plus, humidity climbs above 80%. If you do visit during rainy season, plan indoor activities for afternoons and embrace the dramatic lightning shows over the harbor.
