In this update, you’ll learn about the severe thunderstorm and flooding that struck parts of Bali on December 14, 2025, where it hit hardest, how authorities are responding, and what it means for residents and visitors. Stay informed and prepared as bad weather continues.
Late Saturday night into Sunday morning, intense thunderstorms with loud lightning and heavy rain swept across Bali, waking many residents and leading to waterlogging in low-lying areas such as Denpasar and South Bali, according to local eyewitness reports.
The storms followed warnings of extreme weather and heavy rainfall affecting Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, and other regions, with authorities previously alerting the public to risks of flooding, landslides, and strong winds.
Early reports indicate that rainfall was intense enough to overwhelm drainage systems, causing surface flooding on roads and residential streets in some districts. Local disaster response teams are monitoring conditions and assisting where needed.
While the flooding on 14 December 2025 appears to be rain-driven rather than a major disaster event, heavy rains have caused serious flooding in the past season, leading to emergency declarations and significant impacts on infrastructure and communities.
