JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) is monitoring the dynamics of an unstable atmosphere in a number of parts of Indonesia. This could potentially result in extreme weather in the next few days.

"The results of the BMKG analysis show that the unstable dynamics of the atmosphere in the next week can increase the potential for rain cloud growth in several regions of Indonesia," said Deputy for Meteorology Guswanto in his statement, Monday, November 23.

This condition is reinforced by the active phenomenon of the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Rossby Equatorial wave in the territory of Indonesia in the next week period.

Cyclonic circulation is observed in the Indian Ocean west of Bengkulu and in the South Java Sea of Kalimantan which forms a convergence area that extends in the northern waters of Aceh, from North Sumatra to the western waters of Bengkulu, in the northern Karimata Strait, western Papua. to southern Maluku, as well as from Central Kalimantan to the southern Karimata Strait.

This condition can increase the potential for rain cloud growth around the cyclonic circulation area and along the convergence area.
