Be Alert for Tidal Flooding in Bali Until 5 June 2026

BMKG Regional Office III Denpasar has issued an early warning of potential tidal flooding expected to affect several locations across Bali until 5 June 2026. The phenomenon is triggered by the full moon phase occurring at the end of May.

Head of BMKG Regional Office III, Cahyo Nugroho, explained that this astronomical event directly impacts the maximum sea level height in Bali’s waters.

“The primary cause is the full moon on 31 May, which is likely to increase maximum sea levels,” Cahyo stated in Denpasar on Sunday (31 May 2026).

Based on water level data analysis and tide predictions, BMKG has identified several coastal areas at risk of tidal flooding, including:

Cahyo emphasised that the timing of tidal flooding varies by location depending on geographical conditions and peak tide times.

The potential rise in sea levels is anticipated to disrupt various community activities along the coast. Affected activities include:

Residents are urged to remain vigilant and prepared for the impacts of high tides. Real-time marine weather information can be accessed via the official website bbmkg3.bmkg.go.id, the Info BMKG app, or the official Instagram account @bmkgbali.
