Denpasar (ANTARA) - Indonesia’s meteorology agency has issued an early warning for extreme weather in Bali from Feb. 11 to Feb. 17, 2026, citing strong monsoon patterns and heightened atmospheric instability that could trigger heavy rain, lightning and strong winds, an official said on Wednesday.
The Denpasar Region III Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BBMKG) said it had detected significant developments in atmospheric dynamics that may increase rainfall intensity across the island.
Head of BBMKG Region III Cahyo Nugroho said analysis showed the Asian monsoon remains strong, accompanied by wind convergence and deflection patterns over Bali that support cloud formation.
He added that increased moisture rising to the upper atmosphere at the 200-millibar level has intensified convective activity, raising the likelihood of moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and gusty winds during the period.
The agency expects the conditions to affect the districts of Badung, Denpasar, Tabanan, Jembrana, Bangli, Gianyar, Karangasem, Klungkung and Buleleng.
Those areas face potential hydrometeorological disasters, including flooding, flash floods and landslides, depending on local topography and drainage capacity.
In addition to heavy rain, BBMKG warned of sea waves reaching 1.25 to 2.5 meters in the southern Bali Strait, Badung Strait, southern Lombok Strait and southern waters off Bali.
Nugroho urged residents, fishermen and tourism operators to remain alert and take precautionary measures to ensure daily activities can continue safely.
The agency advised the public to monitor updates through its official maritime weather websites at bbmkg3.bmkg.go.id and maritime.bmkg.go.id.
Weather information is also available via the @bmkgbali social media account and the Info BMKG mobile application, which provides real-time forecasts and early warnings, the agency said.
