Recording rain and thunder sounds during monsoon season in Bali

If you visit Bali in December it is not hard to create such rain and thunder sound library! Bali has two main seasons, the dry season is between May to September and the rainy season is between October and April.

In the last several years traveling, Libby and I went to Bali over six times, and to be honest, we prefer the rain season. There is less tourism and the rain doesn’t last for days but only a few hours nearly every day.

Where I recorded this rain and thunder sound library

While living in Ubud we always rent a small house outside the town near the rice fields surrounded by nature, palm trees, cicadas, a small river, and a few chickens that running around in the area. It’s very pretty and quite calm since there isn’t much traffic and we don’t have loud neighbors.

I recorded the night & morning rain sounds from our balcony facing the jungle which you can hear strong rain, soft rain, thunder rolling in the distance, and nearby thunder. The sounds are not aggressive like in Denver or Singapore for example!

One day I drove to the north side of Bali and a strong rain shower surprised me and I looked for shelter under a small pergola. I recorded heavy rain with pass-by traffic.
