Previously, BMKG Deputy for Meteorology Guswanto explained that the potential impact of disasters due to rain in a number of parts of Indonesia that were still high could have occurred, although it had actually started entering the dry season.
The potential for increased rain is triggered by several atmospheric dynamics that are still active in Indonesian territory, namely the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) phenomenon, the Rossby Kelvin equatorial wave. Until the cyclonic circulation pattern and La Nina also further strengthen the potential for the formation of the rainy cloud.
