24-Hour Island Weather Outlook: In Bali today, Tuesday, October 20, expect light rain during the day and partly cloudy conditions tonight, with a high temperature of 29°C and a low of 21°C, humidity at 73%, a 50% chance of daytime precipitation (15% tonight), and winds coming from the southeast at 4 mph.
Fuel Crisis Status: Morning Overview (6:00 AM)
The fuel bottleneck across South Bali has eased substantially this morning. After intense weekend bottlenecks, supply lines have stabilized following continuous round-the-clock tanker runs from the Sanggaran and Manggis depots. Major arterial corridors across Denpasar and Badung are reporting orderly forecourts with minimal street spillover.
Current Availability of the Big Three Fuels
- Pertalite (RON 90): Readily available across principal urban stations. Fresh shipments exceeding 30 million liters have restored island depot buffers to roughly 11 days. Lines are contained on-site.
- Pertamax & Pertamax Turbo (RON 92 / 98): Moving completely open with near-zero wait times. Station pumps remain well-stocked with approximately 8 days of operational reserve.
- Solar & Biosolar (Diesel): Flowing steadily along commercial routes and major bypass hubs, enabling logistics haulers and transport vans to refill without protracted downtime.
Odd-Even Rule & Purchase Limits (Extended)
The provincial government alongside Pertamina has officially extended the odd-even license plate policy through Friday, October 23, 2026 to deter hoarding:
- Today’s Rule (Tuesday, Oct 20): Only vehicles with EVEN ending license plates (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) can purchase subsidized Pertalite.
- Volume Caps: Subsidized purchases remain strictly limited to 20 liters for cars and 3 liters for motorbikes per transaction.
- Pertamax Exemption: Non-subsidized fuel lanes (Pertamax / Dexlite) do not enforce odd-even rules—if your plate does not match today’s date, you can fuel up directly at non-subsidized pumps.

Remaining Problem Spots Across Bali
- Tabanan & Gilimanuk Corridor: Heavier truck volume along the western freight route continues to cause periodic slowing at diesel bays.
- Buleleng & Singaraja: Tanker turnaround times over the central ridge mean sporadic daytime stock gaps at secondary neighborhood stations.
- Canggu & Ubud Arteries: High scooter volume still generates short-lived queue spikes during late morning and dusk commuting periods.
