Bali in the wet season gets some great downpours. The rain usually hammers straight down and I can walk in a storm armed with just an umbrella and stay mostly dry. That wasn’t the case late yesterday afternoon at Blue Ocean bar in Seminyak. The ocean winds came roaring in and bar staff had to haul in all the chairs, lock down the plastic screens and make sure the roof didn’t blow off. A part of my roof at home, a rear addition made of corrugated iron, came loose and was banging against the wooden joist, like a hobbo banging a dustbin lid. This went on all night and we had to get the landlord’s repair man to fix it.
Today while walking to buy nasi campur the wind and rain came back. I don’t imagine anyone is on the beach right now, although the bursts of rain are short. If you were planning on spending your holiday at the beach and that does seem like the go right now, why not get up to Ubud and learn batik painting, acrylic painting, mask carving or cooking class.
Here’s the 10 day weather forecast for Bali.

The winds that all of Bali recieved was I believe associated with the development of cyclone Daryl, currently off the West Australian Coast. We drove back from Lovina Wednesday and the road was littered with fallen branches and roof top sheeting off road side warungs. Thursday nights sattalite photo showed the cyclone sucking in all the weather for hundred of kilometers and Bali was copping the tail as the tropical low moved off shore and became a cyclone. I am paying close attention to it as my home [Port Hedland] is currently in its path. If you are interesed type in BOM on your browswer [Beauro of Meterology] and click on WA on the Australian map. You will find a link to sattelite photos of Australia that includes Bali as well as cyclone tracking maps.
