When to go
The best time to visit Bekasi
Bekasi has no month that is both mild and dry by the measure used here. August is the warmest month, with average highs of 33 °C; January is the wettest, with about 366 mm of rain.

Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.
