Labuan Bajo — Moderate to heavy rain was forecast for Manggarai Barat on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, according to Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).

The warning covered Manggarai Barat and other parts of East Nusa Tenggara during the 9–11 November 2026 period. BMKG’s early-warning information also identified Labuan Bajo among the locations associated with the forecast.

BMKG did not issue a standby-level warning for heavy to very heavy rain or an alert-level warning for very heavy to extreme rain during that period. It also reported no early warning for strong winds.

Why it matters for Labuan Bajo visitors

Rain in the wider Manggarai Barat area can affect road journeys, harbour activity and outdoor plans in and around Labuan Bajo. The reports do not state that the airport, harbour or any attraction was closed.

The forecast formed part of BMKG’s transition-season warning for East Nusa Tenggara. Separate reporting said the agency expected moderate rain that could be accompanied by lightning and strong winds in several named locations, including Labuan Bajo.

Visitors should treat the forecast as a weather-risk warning rather than a closure notice. The cited reports do not provide a specific rainfall total, timing by hour or operational decision for Labuan Bajo.
