Best Time for the Java's Volcanoes & Temples

Sweet spot: June, July, August — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.

Dry season: Bromo's dawn sea of cloud and Ijen's blue fire hike both need clear pre-dawn skies — this is when they happen.
Rainy season mists the calderas more often than not; Yogyakarta's court culture and batik houses don't mind.
