Bali’s extreme weather warnings are issued by the Indonesian BMKG, primarily during the wet season from November to March when heavy rain, flooding, and tropical cyclones are most likely.
What should travellers know about Bali extreme weather warnings today?
Bali’s wet season runs from November to March, bringing frequent heavy rain, flash flooding, and the risk of tropical lows passing south of the island. Here is what to track:
- Flood warnings: Denpasar and Kuta are prone to flash flooding after sustained heavy rain.
- Cyclone risk: Tropical cyclones rarely hit Bali directly but generate dangerous surf and gale-force winds in the Indian Ocean south of the island.
- Thunderstorms: Severe storms deliver intense lightning, hail, and damaging wind gusts, especially in October and April.
- Live tracking: Use the extreme weather portal and BMKG for real-time updates.
How do I check Bali weather warnings today?
Use the BMKG website or app for official Indonesian warnings. For an English-language overview, check Coast Pulse Hub’s weather warning page which tracks regional risks for Australian travellers heading to Bali.
Has Bali flooding today impacted travel?
Flooding in Bali is typically localised and short-lived. However, major flooding near Ngurah Rai Airport or Kuta can cause significant delays, so always check the latest weather radar and BMKG advisories before heading out.
Should I be worried about a Bali cyclone?
Direct hits are rare, but tropical lows passing south of the island can generate large swell and strong winds. Travellers should monitor severe weather warnings and follow marine safety advice if swimming or boating.
