With average temperatures ranging from 25 to 34 degrees Celsius and the average humidity ranging from 73% to 96% and an average rainfall of around 2,600 mm throughout the year, Batam and the surrounding area is considered as tropical and has only two seasons: a wet season from November to April and a dry season from May until October.
It is also recognized that the distinction between the wet and dry season is rather relative. Though not as frequent, it still rains during the driest months between July and September. Tropical sunshine and clear sky alternate with afternoon downpours and monsoonal showers is a more creditable description of the weather conditions in here.
Although its climate pattern is quite similar to that of Singapore, the dress codes in Batam are more relaxed.
To protect yourself from the constant intense sunshine and unexpected rains during the process of sightseeing, outdoor shopping and recreational activities, casual light summer clothing, like short pants, T-shirts, sandals or sneakers, will suffice.
If neatly dressed, such attire can also get you into almost all restaurants and bars in town. Nevertheless, it always pays to check the specific dress codes before arrival.
It is also not entirely uncommon to see some visitors wearing Western-style low-cut jeans with short tops in public.
However, if you are going to attend a business meeting, to visit a public office, or wish to impress the interviewer, men are expected to wear collared shirts and long pants and women are expected to wear blouses, skirts, or long pants.
Given the tropical nature of Batam's climate, coats seem to be the excess baggage. But a lightweight jacket will come in handy when you enter an freezingly air-conditioned shopping mall, fancy restaurant, first-class hotel, or an office building from the steamingly hot outdoors.
You may want to include suntan lotion with high SPF, a broad-brimmed sun hat, an extra pair of sunglasses, plus mosquito repellent with strong DEET in your baggage.
