You can dive the whole year around, the Dry season
is from April to November, with the rainy season usually
beginning in December, the worst month for wind and
rain is February, but over the last 2 years Feb has
not seen much rain!? The sun is fierce in Flores so
do bring plenty of sun screen and a hat.
