JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts light rain will fall just in time for the Formula E race at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit (JIEC), Ancol, North Jakarta.

The forecast is that light rain will still fall until 18.00 western Indonesia time or when the race has been held.

Meanwhile, based on VOI monitoring at the location, the weather is still quite hot. Some of the audience chose to take shelter under a shady tree, or indoors.

Others have entered the audience stands area, from the Grandstand to the VIP and VVIP rooms while watching the qualifying session of this electric car racer.

As is known, the ninth series of Formula E was officially held today, Saturday 4 June at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit, Ancol. This electric car racing event will be held for one full day. Here's the schedule and important information about Formula E today.

The Formula E event has a different format from the Formula 1 race which is usually held three days in a row. For Formula E, each series is only held on one day, starting from free practice, qualifying to racing.
