Bali tourism operators urged to prepare for delayed 2026–27 rainy season

Bali — Bali’s tourism operators were urged on 27 October 2026 to strengthen preparations for floods and landslides ahead of the delayed 2026–27 rainy season, according to Bali Post.

Why it matters: Tourism businesses across Bali were urged to prepare for flood and landslide risks before three seasonal zones enter the rainy season in November and 17 more in December.

The request covered hotels, villas, restaurants, attractions, tourism areas, tourism villages and other tourism businesses. It followed a Bali climatology forecast that three of the island’s 20 seasonal zones would enter the rainy season in November, while the other 17 would do so in December.

Most of Bali is expected to reach the peak of the rainy season in February 2027, according to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency’s Denpasar office, as reported by Tempo. The agency also warned of the potential for extreme weather during the wet season.

What the forecast means

The three zones forecast to enter the rainy season in November account for 15% of Bali’s seasonal zones, while the 17 zones expected to follow in December account for 85%, Tempo reported. The delayed onset means preparedness measures are being emphasised before the wetter period begins.

Separately, the Denpasar meteorology centre issued an early warning for moderate to heavy rain in parts of Bali from 28 to 31 October 2026. The warning covered Badung, Bangli, Gianyar, Karangasem and Tabanan on 28–29 October.

The Bali forecast is part of the agency’s outlook for the 2026–27 rainy season. The wet season is expected to continue through April 2027, while the main peak for most of Bali is forecast for February.
