These averages sketch typical conditions rather than predicting the weather on any particular day.

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperature reaches its low point in July, at 26.4 °C, and its high point in November, at 28.4 °C. This limited spread in monthly means suggests that temperature alone offers a fairly narrow seasonal distinction for planning; it does not describe daytime highs or the range visitors may encounter from day to day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 27.4 °C. It is a summary of those monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual figure, and should not be read as a forecast for a specific visit.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in August, at 0.27 mm/day, so visitors prioritising lower average rainfall could consider that month as a conditional option. This monthly mean does not guarantee dry days or show how often rain occurs. The highest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in February, at 8.20 mm/day. If travelling then, flexible plans and rain protection are sensible; the figure is a daily mean, not a monthly rainfall total or a prediction of rainfall on any one day. The unweighted mean across monthly rainfall means is 3.53 mm/day, which provides broad context rather than a day-weighted annual average.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in October, at 11.25 hours/day, and lowest in January, at 9.43 hours/day. For outdoor sightseeing planned around more average sunshine, the former may be a useful consideration, while the latter represents the lower monthly mean. Sunshine duration is not the same as day length and cannot guarantee clear conditions. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine means is 10.41 hours/day per day. It summarises the calendar-month averages, rather than giving a day-weighted annual value or a forecast for particular dates.

Best Travel Time Guide for Dili, Timor-Leste: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, July is the clearest temperature-based option, with a monthly mean of 26.4 °C; the warmest monthly mean is in November at 28.4 °C. These are monthly means, not daytime maximum temperatures, so pack for variable day-to-day conditions rather than treating them as a guarantee. If lower average rainfall is your priority, August is a conditional choice, with mean daily rainfall of 0.27 mm/day. In February, the mean daily amount is 8.20 mm/day, making rain protection and adaptable outdoor plans worth considering. Neither average tells you how frequently rain falls or what any particular day will bring.

For outdoor plans where average sunshine matters, October records the highest mean daily duration at 11.25 hours/day, while January records the lowest at 9.43 hours/day. These figures can help with broad timing choices, but sunshine duration is not day length and does not promise clear skies; check conditions nearer your travel dates.
