Seasons

Let us get into the weather information in Timor Leste. This amazing country has a hot tropical climate divided into two seasons:

• Wet Season: from December to April the rains come causing some floods and landslides, cutting off the access to roads.

• Dry Season: from May to November the East Timor climate at north coast sees a few raindrops and the cooler central mountains and south coast occasionally have a shower.

• September to December: this is the whale-watching season as pods of multiple whale species migrate through the Wetar Strait.

Best Time to Visit Timor Leste

With temperature average from 22ºC to 31ºC, East Timor has a tropical monsoon climate and the best time to visit this paradisiacal island is from April to July, that’s when you get the best weather.

There are many different micro-climates from dry barren hillsides to thickly forested peaks interspersed with cultivated areas.  

In general, as you drive south the countryside becomes much more lush and greener.
