While Lombok is almost always sitting around 30°C at sea level, Gunung Rinjani is a very different story and the temperature will drop by around 6-7 degrees for every 1000m altitude. Both major campsites on the crater rim are each at more than 2,700m, which means after dark the temperature can drop below 5°C, while at the summit it’s a few degrees off freezing.

What Will The Weather Be Like On Rinjani Mountain?
Chances are, you will encounter sunny, cold & rainy weather during your trekking mount rinjani. The weather in the Savannah can be cloudy, sunny or rainy. The weather on the crater rims is mostly beautiful. The weather in the rain-forest closest to Senaru is mostly damp with rain showers common throughout the day. A poncho or rain-jacket is a must. It might only rain for 30 minutes, but that’s plenty of time to drench everything you have brought with you. When at camp on the crater rim and at the summit we are above the clouds, so although it gets cold we barely ever have any rain there. Each day the crater often clouds over, however the clouds clear in the late afternoon to reveal a spectacular scenery. Weather during the nights and on the summit is very cold, so you will likely pull out every piece of warm clothing you have adn at the top of mount rinjani the temperature is always changing,sometimes it’s 3 degrees celsius,sometimes it’s 2 or 1 degrees
