JAKARTA - The Denpasar Regional Meteorological, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BBMKG) III issued an early warning of the potential for coastal flooding in several areas of Bali, which is estimated to occur on March 2-9, 2026.

"Community activities that are potentially affected around the port and coast," said Head of the Regional Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) Region III Cahyo Nugroho in Denpasar, Bali, Sunday.

He explained that based on the analysis, the potential for coastal flooding was caused by the perigee phase or full moon phenomenon on March 3.

This condition has the potential to increase the maximum sea level in five coastal areas.

Based on monitoring water level data and tide predictions, the five coastal areas are the southern coast of Tabanan Regency and Klungkung Regency. Then the coast of Badung Regency, Gianyar and Denpasar City.

However, the Denpasar BMKG did not provide details of the maximum sea level forecast in each district / city area in Bali from the potential coastal flooding.

The activities of the community that are potentially affected are loading and unloading at the port, coastal settlement activities, as well as salt cultivation and land-based fisheries.

"We urge the public to always be alert and ready," he added.

According to him, the potential for coastal flooding is different at different times and hours in each region.

For this reason, he appealed to the public to renew maritime weather information on the bbmkg3.bmkg.go.id or maritim.bmkg.go.id pages.

In addition, weather information can also be observed from social media including Instagram @bmkgbali or through the BMKG information application and through the telephone number service at 0361-751122.
