Where should you go in Indonesia in january when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in Indonesia in january ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.

January is not the best month to visit Indonesia. The weather in Borneo (Pontianak), Sumatra (Medan), Padang City, Manado, Java (Jakarta), Batam, Raja Ampat Islands, Makassar and Bali is just ok. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain often. However, if you don't plan a pool & relaxation travel in Indonesia but rather sightseeing, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists at this time.

It's even worse in Malang, Bandung, Semarang, lake Toba, Lombok, Yogyakarta, Karimun Java, Gili Islands, Surabaya, Surakarta and Komodo island and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is not recommended to go to these areas this month.
