Cyclone Seeds Detected, High Winds Occur Until April 11

JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts strong winds, lightning, heavy rain to high waves will occur in Indonesia until April 11, 2024. BMKG also detects the presence of a new Tropical Cyclone Seed, namely the Cyclone 96S Seed. "In April 11, there is a variation, namely on April 4-7, it is predicted that there will be areas experiencing strong winds, high waves, lightning, and lightning," said Head of BMKG Dwikorita Karnawati, Friday, April 5. Dwikorita said, Some areas on April 4-7, 2024 are expected to experience strong winds, high waves, lightning, and lightning, namely West Sumatra, Jambi, Bengkulu, Bangka Belitung Islands, South Sumatra, Bangka, and Lampung. In addition, it also has the potential to occur in Banten, West Java, Central Java, Special Region of Yogyakarta, East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan. Then, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Sulawesi North, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, North Maluku, Maluku, West Papua, and Papua. Meanwhile, there are 8-11 April 2024 several provinces will experience heavy rains such as in Aceh, West Sumatra, North Sumatra, Riau, Riau Islands, Jambi, Bangka Belitung Islands, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, East Java, Bali, NTB, and NTT. Furthermore, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, North Maluku, Maluku, West Papua, and Papua. Dwikorita explained that the potential for strong winds, lightning, lightning, heavy rain, and high waves was caused by several phenomena, namely the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) phenomenon or a collection of rain clouds that had begun to cross the islands in Indonesia. Not only MJO, there is also an atmospheric wave phenomenon, namely the Kelvin and Rossby Ekuator waves and The warm water level temperature in the Indonesian archipelago.

BMKG has also recently detected the emergence of a new Tropical Cyclone Seed, namely the Cyclone 96S Seed that appears around the Savu Sea and is currently in the position of 10.2 degrees South Latitude and 121 degrees East Longitude. "The emergence of Tropical Cyclone Seeds and the significance of atmospheric dynamics is able to trigger extreme weather that has an impact on hydrometeorological disasters such as floods, flash floods, and landslides," he said.
