BPBD Reminds Potential For Extreme Rain In Jakarta Until March 11, This Is The Factor
JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) warned of the potential for very heavy to extreme rain in Jakarta until March 11, 2025. This is based on the predictions of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).
"A number of atmospheric factors, such as cyclonic circulation and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) phenomenon, have helped strengthen the growth of rain clouds," said Head of BPBD DKI Jakarta Isnawa Adji in his statement, Friday, March 7.
Isnawa mengimbau masyarakay Jakarta untuk selalu waspada dan siaga untuk mengantisipasi dampak dari cuaca ekstrem. Warga juga bisa memantau informasi banjir terkini melalui situs https:// pantaubanjir.jakarta.go.id/peta-banjir-berbasiskan-rt.
"If you find an emergency that needs help, immediately contact the Jakarta Call Center Standby 112," he said.
Previously, the Head of BMKG Dwikorita Karnawati said that there was still the potential for rain in the period at the end of March 2025 before Eid al-Fitr. The government is preparing weather modification operations to anticipate extreme weather.
"Earlier I said, so the last 10 days of March there was still rain. It could be heavy rain too, but the duration is short, weaker than it is today," said BMKG Head Dwikorita Karnawati, Wednesday, March 5.
He said there is the potential for extreme weather with a short duration that will be anticipated with weather modifications ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday period.
Weather modifications have begun to be carried out at this time to reduce rainfall in flood-affected areas that inundate a number of areas, including Jakarta, Bogor, Bekasi, Depok, and Tangerang.
"April has started to dry, so God willing, it will be better. There may be extreme weather, but the duration is short. But we are preparing for weather modifications if detected, extremes can be detected," he added.
