The Impact Of The Ewiniar Tropical Cyclone In Indonesia: Here's An Explanation From The BMKG

YOGYAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has monitored the presence of Tropical Cyclone Ewinar in the Philippine Sea. So, what impact of tropical cyclone Ewiniar in Indonesia?

Previously, let's first understand tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones themselves are major storms created over warm oceans at high speeds. Tropical cyclones thrive over warm waters with convective virgin areas.

Tropical cyclones have cyclone eyes at their center, which are surrounded by eye walls which are areas with the highest wind speeds and the highest rainfall. The lifespan of tropical cyclones ranges from 3 to 18 days, and will weaken when moving to cold or mainland waters.

According to the BMKG website, tropical cyclones can develop in the Western Atlantic, East Pacific, western North Pacific, northern and southern Indian Oceans, Australia and the South Pacific. About 2/3 of tropical cyclone events are established in the northern hemisphere.

There are also 65% of tropical cyclones formed in the region between 10°-20° of the equator. Only about 13% of tropical cyclones develop above the 20$ latitude region, on the other hand in the low latitude region (0$-10$) of tropical cyclones is rarely created.

Regarding Tropical Cyclone Ewiniar

Quoting from the official Instagram bmkg@infobmkg, Tropical Cyclone Ewiniar appears in the Philippine sea, precisely 15.8 degrees North Latitude and 122.8 degrees East Longitude or approximately 1,420 kilometers northwest-northeast of Tahuna.

The maximum wind speed is 65 knots (120 kilometers/hour) and maximum air pressure is 985 hPa. It is estimated that the maximum wind speed of Tropical Cyclone Ewiniar will increase in the next 24 hours.

Tropical Cyclone Ewiniar itself is said to have no direct impact on the weather in Indonesia. However, the BMKG asked residents to be aware of the result of moderate to heavy rain in the Kalimantan island area.

Not only that, in Antara, BMKG also highlighted the ability of sea waves as high as 2.5 m to 4.0 m which is likely to occur in the West Indian Ocean, Mentawai Islands to Lampung.

"Be careful of activities outside the home and always update weather information from the website, application, and social media @infobmkg," wrote BMKG.

The General Impact Of The Teopic Cyclone

I. Live Impact

What is interpreted as the direct impact of tropical cyclones is that due to the impact of tropical cyclones there are areas they pass through. This can be in the form of large waves, storm waves or storm surges in the form of rising sea level, such as high tides that come suddenly, heavy rain and strong winds.

An example when an area in Indonesia experienced a direct impact on the presence of tropical cyclones, namely when a rare event occurred, namely the growth of tropical cyclone Kirrily over the Kai Islands, Banda Sea, on April 27, 2009. Kirrily caused heavy rain and storm surge in this area. It was recorded that dozens of houses were damaged and dozens of others were submerged, highways were damaged, and high waves occurred from 26 to 29 April. Rainfall was recorded as of 24 hours, namely in Tual as many as 20mm, 92mm and 193mm, respectively for 27, 28 and 29 April 2009.

II. Indirect Impact

Indonesia is not a tropical cyclone track area, but thus the presence of tropical cyclones around Indonesia, especially those formed around the Northwest Pacific, the Southeast Indian Ocean and around Australia will influence the formation of weather patterns in Indonesia. This change in weather patterns by the presence of tropical cyclones has made tropical cyclones have an indirect impact on weather conditions in Indonesian regions.

Indirect impacts on the presence of tropical cyclones can be in the form of various matters, including:

In addition, you also need to identify the Cause of Hurricane and Heavy Rain in Indonesia.
