Introduction [0:03]
Since Tuesday, September 9, 2025, continuous heavy rain has caused widespread flooding across Bali, with at least 62 flood points identified. The flooding has resulted in two fatalities in Jembrana, and over 150 residents have been evacuated from affected areas.
Causes of the Flood [0:21]
The flooding is attributed to a combination of factors, including continuous rainfall over 24 hours with very high intensity. Areas that typically do not experience flooding are now affected, and light floods have become severe. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Center reports rainfall exceeding 50 mm/h, categorized as heavy, and above 150 mm/h, categorized as extreme. These extreme conditions are triggered by active Rosby atmospheric waves, which promote the growth of convective clouds.
Impact and Affected Areas [1:12]
The floods have paralyzed several locations, including Denpasar and Jembrana, cutting off access. In Denpasar, flood heights reached approximately 2 meters. Bali Governor Iwayan Coaster visited Kumbasari Market, one of the areas severely affected by the flood.
Rescue and Evacuation Efforts [1:29]
The primary focus is on rescuing traders and preventing casualties due to strong river currents. There are ongoing searches for four missing individuals to ensure their safety. BNPB Chief Legend TNI Swarianto plans to arrive in Bali to lead the emergency response operation and will later assess the situation in NTT, specifically Nageke Keo.
Ongoing Response and Weather Forecast [2:25]
A joint team and a flood evacuation team have been established. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) forecasts light to moderate rain in most parts of Bali over the next three days.
