Bali Floods Inundate Tourist Hubs as Torrential Monsoon Rains Trigger Evacuations

Officials warn downpours could continue into early April.

Overview

  • Intense rainfall since late Monday flooded parts of Badung Regency and Denpasar, with waters of roughly 30–70 centimetres reported in Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Sanur.
  • About 350 people temporarily sought safety and around 30 foreign tourists were evacuated by rubber boats, with most later returning as waters receded, officials said.
  • Torrential weather disrupted travel at Ngurah Rai airport, where two international flights were diverted and several departures were delayed.
  • Authorities reported no fatalities and said many evacuees had gone home as flood levels dropped in some areas.
  • Widely shared videos showed large pythons swimming through submerged streets as displaced wildlife moved into urban areas during the flooding.
