How hot is it in Indonesia during October?
October is typically the hottest month in Indonesia. The temperature hits about 33℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 25℃ at night.The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm.
