Extreme Weather Hantai Many New Year's Celebration Points 2023 In Jakarta, DKI Provincial Government: Hopefully, Not Rainy Can Be A Community Entertainment

JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Isnawa Adji hopes that heavy rains will not fall in Jakarta on New Year's Eve 2023.

The DKI Provincial Government is known to have returned to work on New Year's Eve parties at a number of points in Jakarta after being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the pandemic is sloping, the excitement of the celebration remains haunted by extreme weather constraints.

"Hopefully it won't rain so that the turn of New Year's Eve will be lively and will be the entertainment of Jakarta residents," Isnawa said in a short message, Wednesday, December 21.

The 2023 New Year celebrations in Jakarta are spread from Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Thamrin 10, West Jakarta Mayor's Office, North Jakarta Mayor's Office, Setu Babakan, Old Shanghai, and Untung Island Java.

The 2023 New Year's Eve celebration event was also held along Jalan Sudirman to MH Thamrin with car free night activities.

Isnawa suggested that the public always monitor information on the development of Jakarta's weather on social media accounts of the DKI Jakarta BPBD. He admitted that he would continue to inform weather conditions during the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year holidays.

"Regularly BPBD always informs weather conditions based on the release of BMKG. Later we with Diskominfo will continue to inform weather developments, especially ahead of New Year's Eve," said Isnawa.

Previously, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) asked the public to be aware of the potential for extreme weather during the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year holidays.

"From the monitoring carried out by BMKG, we detected developments in weather conditions that have the potential to become extreme," said Head of BMKG Dwikorita Karnawati, Tuesday, December 20.

He revealed, there are four phenomena that can trigger an increase in rainfall to heavyness and it is even feared that it could reach extremes in several parts of Indonesia.

"So usually one by one, but there are four phenomena that occur simultaneously which cause atmospheric dynamics to trigger an increase in rainfall to heavyness and even worry that it can reach extremes," he said.

Dwikorita said the first phenomenon was the increase in Asian Monsoon activity which triggered significant rain cloud growth in western, central and southern parts of Indonesia.

The second phenomenon is the intensification or intensifying phenomenon of the Asian Cold Call which can increase the speed of surface winds in the western and southern parts of Indonesia, as well as increase the formation of rain clouds to be more intensive.

"The increase in the formation of rain clouds to be more intensive has the potential to occur around Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java, Bali to Nusa Tenggara," said Dwikorita.

The third phenomenon is that there are indications of the formation of a low pressure center around the southern waters of Indonesia which can trigger a fairly massive increase in convective cloud growth and have the potential to cause high-intensity rain that is feared to reach extremes.

In addition, there is the potential for an increase in surface wind speed and an increase in the wave height around it.

The fourth phenomenon is the monitoring of atmospheric wave activity, namely the Madden Julian Oscillation phenomenon, which is the phenomenon of the movement of rain clouds from the Indian Ocean to the east of Africa.

The potential for rain with significant intensity during the period from December 25, 2022-01 January 2023, needs to be watched out for in several areas as follows:

- The potential for heavy to very heavy rain in the area1. Banten2. West Java3. Central Java4. Yogyakarta5. East Java 6.07.NTB8.NTT9. South Sulawesi10. Southeast Sulawesi11. Maluku

- The potential for moderate to heavy rain in the area is 1. Aceh2. Lampung3. South Sumatra4. DKI Jakarta 5. Central Kalimantan 6. South Kalimantan 7. North Maluku 8. West Papua 9. Papua
