Weather in Indonesia in August
August in Indonesia is a hot month. Plan the serious walking for morning. The rest of the day wants shade and a slower pace.
A country pin in August is a warning: one region of Indonesia will not match another. Use a city page if you already know where you are going. August is winter in the southern year. A northern summer packing list is the wrong brief for Indonesia. Compared with May and February, August sits in the middle of Indonesia's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Hot days in Indonesia. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember August for the wrong reason.
Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for August in Indonesia is almost always a waste of bag space.
Rain
August is on the drier side of the year in Indonesia. Showers are possible. They do not define the month.
A shell that lives in the bag is enough. This is not June, and it should not be packed as if it were.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
