Share:

Tourists are advised to stay alert regarding potential floods in Bali, particularly in the Denpasar area. On Saturday, 27th January 2024, the Denpasar City region experienced significant flooding at various locations. Despite the brief duration of the rainfall, several road sections were inundated, including Renon, Gunung Agung Road, Kepundung Road, and several other points.

Furthermore, on Sunday, 28th January 2024, a notable incident occurred at one of Bali’s largest malls, Living World, situated in Gatot Subroto, North Denpasar. A video shared by the TikTok account @fangpen1 depicts the entire mall area flooded due to water leakage from the roof. Nearly all tenants were impacted by the roof leak.

Visitors present at Living World hurriedly navigated through the water puddles, creating slippery floors. Mall employees collaborated to minimize the standing water across the entire mall premises.

This incident underscores the need for both tourists and locals in Bali to remain alert against the increased likelihood of frequent floods during the ongoing rainy season. According to Bali’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), the peak of the rainy season in Bali is anticipated to be postponed until February and March 2024.

The delay in Bali’s rainy season, along with several other areas in Indonesia, is attributed to the lingering impact of El Nino in various regions. The El Nino phenomenon is expected to persist widely until early 2024. However, as forecasted by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), El Nino is projected to extend until March 2024.

In light of these predictions, tourists in Bali are urged to be cautious of potential flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. The Denpasar area, identified as a red zone susceptible to flooding with prolonged rain, requires heightened awareness. Additionally, the highland areas of Bali face the risk of landslides due to substantial rainfall.
