Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Based on analysis and monitoring of the latest weather data, the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has identified the potential for rain with light to heavy intensity to still occur in several regions of Indonesia.

In the last 24 hours until 28 February 2024 at 07.00 WIB, high intensity rain occurred in several areas such as: Banten (118 mm), Bali (73.9 mm), East Nusa Tenggara (70.0 mm), DKI Jakarta (62 mm), and IN Yogyakarta (56.4 mm).

Observing the results of the latest analysis of atmospheric dynamics, BMKG concluded that the potential for rain with varying intensity variations in Indonesia is predicted to continue to occur until the early period of February 2024, this condition is triggered by these three things.

First, the activity of the Asian Monsoon, which is accompanied by the potential for cold surges, has the effect of increasing wet air masses in the western and southern parts of Indonesia at the equator.

Second, the still active equatorial Rossby and Kelvin waves around central Indonesia also trigger the formation of rain clouds. Third, the formation of a pattern of bends and confluence of winds that extends south of the equator as a result of the strengthening of the Asian Monsoon winds.

Quoted from the official BMKG statement, the following are cities with the potential for moderate to heavy rain in Indonesia in the period 29 January-1 February 2024:

– Aceh

– North Sumatra

– West Sumatra

– Riau

Meanwhile, for the Jabodetabek area, BMKG estimates that this area will generally experience rain with moderate and heavy intensity from January 29 to January 1 2024.

Then, on February 2-4, Jabodetabek generally had cloudy weather to light rain.

“However, we need to be aware of the potential for heavy rain and strong winds for a moment in several areas such as parts of Tangerang, Bogor Regency, South Jakarta, North Jakarta and Thousand Islands,” said BMKG.

The following are BMKG notes regarding the potential for floods and tidal waves in Indonesia:

1) Based on monitoring of tidal predictions, coastal flooding (rob) has the potential to occur in several coastal areas in Indonesia, namely:

West Kalimantan Coast (29 January 2024)

North Maluku Coast (29 – 30 January 2024)

2) Potential for high waves in Indonesian territory with a height of more than 1.25 m (29 January 2024), namely:

Medium Category (1.25 – 2.5 m): Northern Malacca Strait, Western waters of Aceh to Lampung, Indian Ocean west of Sumatra, Southern Sunda Strait, Southern waters of Banten, Southern waters of Bali – Lombok – Alas, Savu Sea, Kupang waters – P .Rote, Indian Ocean south of NTT, Natuna Sea, waters of Riau Islands, Makassar Strait, Banda Sea, Sulawesi Sea, Bitung – Sitaro waters, southern Maluku Sea, waters of Kep. Banggai – Sula Island, Seram Sea, Buru – Seram Island Waters, Biak Island Waters, Cendrawasih Bay, Jayapura Waters, Kep. Sermata – Tanimbar, Kai – Aru Island Waters.

Height Category (2.5 – 4.0 m): North Natuna Sea, Kep. Anambas – Natuna, waters south of West Java to NTB, Indian Ocean south of Java to NTB, waters of Kep. Sangihe – Talaud, northern Maluku Sea, Halmahera Waters, Halmahera Sea, Pacific Ocean north of Halmahera to West Papua, Arafuru Sea.

Thus, BMKG appeals to the public and related agencies to remain alert to the potential for rain accompanied by lightning and strong winds for the next week.

“Especially for areas with steep/mountainous/cliff topography or prone to landslides and floods, please remain alert to the impacts caused by extreme weather such as floods, flash floods, landslides, slippery roads, fallen trees and reduced visibility,” wrote BMKG.
