Makassar in June

April through September gives you the best weather - dry, breezy, and perfect for walking around the old quarter. May and June are ideal, with temperatures around 28°C and minimal rain. July and August bring more tourists (though still manageable numbers), while September offers the sweet spot of good weather and fewer crowds. The wet season from October to March isn't a total write-off, but afternoon thunderstorms can be intense. Plus, humidity climbs above 80%. If you do visit during rainy season, plan indoor activities for afternoons and embrace the dramatic lightning shows over the harbor.
