JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) again warned of the potential for forest and land fires (karhutla) in a number of parts of Indonesia, Sunday, in the midst of hot weather that hit the country.
The warning was conveyed by BMKG through the bmkg.go.id page, which was monitored in Jakarta, early Sunday morning.
According to BMKG, several areas that have the potential for forest and land fires include Jambi, parts of East Java, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and parts of Lampung.
In addition, East Nusa Tenggara, as well as parts of South Sumatra (Ogan Komering Ilir, Ogan Ilir, Prabumulih, Banyuasin, Musi Banyuasin, Ogan Komering Ulu, Lahat, Ogan Komering Ulu Timur, Empat Lawang, Musi Rawas, Musi Rawas Utara and Muara Enim).
Especially in Central Kalimantan, BMKG appealed to the public not to burn land for any purpose.
"Be aware of the potential for decrease in air quality due to increased air pollution originating from forest and land fires in the Central Kalimantan region," the BMKG appealed as reported by Antara.
For this reason, the public is advised to reduce activities outside the home and when outdoors to use face/mask masks, especially for people who have a history of respiratory problems, children, pregnant women, and elderly parents.
As previously reported, the BMKG predicts that the hot weather phenomenon in a number of parts of Indonesia can last until October 2023.
"The condition of this hot hot phenomenon is predicted to continue in this October period," said BMKG Deputy for Meteorology Guswanto in Jakarta, Saturday, September 30.
