Pack beachwear, light clothes, sunscreen and a sarong for temples. Bali is about 29–31°C all year; November to March is the wet season, with rain on 10–19 days a month.
Bali is warm all year, so the real question is wet season or dry. Either way, the packing list is short and sunny: a travel-size SPF 50 (strong equatorial sun burns fast, clouds or not), a packable sun hat for long days outside, and insect repellent for the evenings.
The one thing people forget is the temples. They ask you to cover your shoulders and wear a sarong, so a light scarf or sarong in your day bag saves you renting one at every gate. From November to March, add a compact umbrella, and packing cubes keep wet swimwear away from everything else on the way home.
April to October is drier and the busiest season. Temples ask visitors to wear a sarong and sash, and to cover shoulders. Bali uses Type C and F plugs at 230 V, so you need an adapter.
