Even during the rainy season and for the rest of the year the island is located around 200 miles to the south of the equator and offers a hot and humid environment to its residents and tourists in unison. Here day starts at around 6.30 in the morning and sun sets on this island at around 6.30 in the evening and being so humid in nature it’s hard to mention the time of the year unless one considers the present climatic condition. the weather is marginally pleasant in the evening though internally the temperature can be quite high. One exception is Mt Rinjani which offers a comparatively chilly temperature being at a higher altitude during the normal seasons. Lombok situated near the equator maintains parity in its weather conditions be it in dry season or in rainy season, as this mostly refers to the condition of the wind and not to the condition of the rain.

On the whole Lombok can be said to be a peaceful and serene tourist location with a fixed level of weather condition.
