Bali remains in seasonal transition as wet-season timing varies by region

Bali — Bali remained in the dry season while entering the transition toward the wet season on November 2, 2026, with rain reported in several areas across the island.

Why it matters: Visitors and residents may encounter uneven rain, heavy-rain hazards and continuing drought conditions while different parts of Bali move into the wet season.

Aminudin Al Roniri, head of the Bali climatology station, said the rainfall did not yet meet the criteria for the start of the wet season. He said central Bali was expected to enter the wet season from mid-November to late November, while most areas in western, northern, eastern and southern Bali were forecast to follow in December.

The Bali Regional Disaster Management Agency urged the public to remain alert to weather-related hazards during the transition period, including risks linked to heavy rain and prolonged dryness, Bali Post reported.

BMKG’s early-November outlook said rainfall would remain uneven. Rain ranging from light to heavy was possible in several regencies and Denpasar from November 1 to 3, while light to moderate rain was forecast in several areas later in the 10-day period.

BMKG also identified rainfall vigilance areas with potential accumulation of 150 to 200 millimetres per 10-day period. At the same time, parts of Buleleng, Bangli and Karangasem remained under drought warnings, showing that early-November rain would not end dry conditions across the island.
