Bali Weather Warning Today

HomeWeatherBali Weather Warning Today

Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 23 June 2026 by the Australia Current Weather Desk. Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other national met services via Open-Meteo.

If you’re heading to Bali today, expect heavy rain and possible flooding in low-lying areas, with a severe weather warning active from the Indonesian met service. The monsoon trough is deepening, bringing the risk of flash flooding and rough seas – so check conditions before you leave the airport.

What does the Bali weather warning mean for travellers?

The warning, issued by BMKG (the Indonesian Bureau of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics), covers most of southern Bali, including Denpasar, Kuta and Ubud. Heavy rainfall of 100–150 mm in 24 hours is expected, with potential for landslips in hilly areas. Afternoon thunderstorms are likely, often persisting into the evening.

How should I adjust my plans?

Postpone outdoor tours and avoid river crossings. The sea state is rough – small craft warnings are in place for the Bali Strait and Lombok Strait. If you’re flying, allow extra time; Ngurah Rai Airport is operating but delays are possible. Keep an eye on the live satellite and radar loops we link from our Australia Current weather warning page, which also tracks Bali’s monsoon patterns.

Is it safe to travel to Bali today?

Yes, but exercise caution. Avoid flood-prone roads and beaches. Stay indoors during peak downpours and never drive through flowing water. The warning is precautionary, not a travel ban.

Will my flight be affected by the Bali weather warning?

Check with your airline. So far Ngurah Rai Airport reports normal operations, but visibility and crosswinds could cause delays. Allow extra time and monitor live satellite feeds.

Where can I see the Bali weather warning today live?

BMKG publishes real-time warnings on their app and website. Our Australia Weather hub also aggregates live data from satellite and rain radar for the region.
