Where should you go in Indonesian Papua in may when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Indonesian Papua in may ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.
That month is not the best month to go to in Indonesian Papua. The weather in Raja Ampat Islands, Manokwari, Merauke and Jayapura is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you might make you wet by rain frequently. However, if you don't plan a beach and relaxation holiday in Indonesian Papua but rather sightseeing, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are surely fewer tourists this month.
It's much worse in Kaimana, Yapen, Wasai, Pantai Patawana, Bawe (Taman Nasional Teluk Cenderawasih), Timika, Numfor, Biak, Wamena, Sorong, Agats, Sarmi, Waigeo, Batanta, Paniai Lakes and Nabire and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is not recommended to go to these areas in may.
