Over the past few days, Bali has been gripped by unbearable heat. In many areas of the island, temperatures have risen to 36°C. According to forecasts, this weather will persist for a few more days until February 10 – after which it will return to the usual level of around 29°C.
According to data from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Department (BBMKG) of Region III Denpasar, the cause of this abnormal heat lies in the position of the Sun. It is currently located in the southern hemisphere and gradually moving toward the equator, intensifying the impact of solar radiation on the planet. Additionally, almost no clouds are forming over Bali at the moment, which normally help diffuse sunlight. As a result, solar energy reaches the Earths surface unobstructed, leading to a sharp rise in temperature.
The peak of the rainy season on the island is already behind us. In the coming days, rainfall will decrease, which also means the heat wont subside quickly. Strong winds are also possible, and there have already been reports of fallen trees.
Given these conditions, both locals and tourists should exercise extra caution. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially during peak hours from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Be sure to wear hats, use sunscreen, and always carry a bottle of water to prevent dehydration. If you experience dizziness, weakness, or other symptoms of heatstroke, seek medical assistance immediately. In case of strong winds, avoid areas with a large number of tall trees.
