Bali is currently in the transitional period between the dry and wet seasons (‘Peralihan’). Although the island is gradually entering the dry season, the Indonesian Meteorological Agency (BMKG) has issued a yellow alert today, warning areas including Kuta and Ubud of a 45% - 60% chance of brief thunderstorms, strong winds, and lightning risks in the afternoon.
In terms of temperature, daytime highs reach around 31°C, feeling quite humid with 80% humidity; nighttime temperatures drop to a comfortable 24°C. The southern coast (Uluwatu, Nusa Dua) is influenced by the Australian monsoon, with winds shifting to east-southeast and wave heights of 1-2 meters. Sea conditions are generally stable, but it is advised to avoid thunderstorm areas. Overall, the morning to noon period is the golden time for outdoor activities, so it’s recommended to carry light rain gear and apply sunscreen.
Due to conflicts in the Middle East and international airspace turbulence, experts warn that Bali and Thailand will be the regions most affected by increased long-haul flight costs. Airlines have already begun adjusting routes or adding fuel surcharges.
Culturally, today coincides with a challenging day in the Balinese calendar, considered unfavorable for weddings or groundbreaking ceremonies. Last Saturday marked the end of Saraswati Day, with schools and temples still immersed in the atmosphere of scholarly worship. Next, on April 8th, Pagerwesi will be celebrated, with residents strengthening spiritual protection and inner balance rituals. On the security front, a British man wanted by Interpol was arrested at the airport last week and is currently undergoing extradition procedures. The tourism board has announced a target of attracting 6.63 million international visitors in 2026, shifting focus to promoting high-quality tourism.
