Thank you Neill for all this amazing information. My husband and myself live in the South Pacific, where we're from but it's expensive. Is there a place in Bali with high mountains, cooler climate and peace and quiet? Thank you

The mountainous regions of central Bali offer the coolest temperatures on the island:

## Coolest Areas

**Mount Batur Region**

- Located in Kintamani district at 1,717m elevation

- Average temperatures range from 15-20°C

- Morning temperatures can drop to 10-12°C

**Bedugul Area**

- Situated at around 1,200m above sea level

- Temperatures typically range from 17-22°C

- Known for its misty mountain climate

**Munduk**

- Located at approximately 1,000m elevation

- Average temperatures between 18-24°C

- Experiences frequent cloud cover and cool mountain breezes

## Factors Affecting Temperature

The cooler temperatures in these regions are primarily due to:

- Higher elevation above sea level

- Increased cloud cover and rainfall

- Mountain air currents

- Dense forest coverage

Currently in the central region near Ubud, the temperature is 26°C with moderate to heavy rain and thunder, demonstrating how even at lower elevations, rain and cloud cover can affect local temperatures.
