BMKG Forecasts Weather In NTB During A Week Of Potential Rain Accompanied By Strong Winds
MATARAM - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts weather conditions in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) for the next week with the potential for rain accompanied by strong winds.
"On September 15-17, 2025, the weather was generally sunny and cloudy to moderate rain. Meanwhile, on September 18-21, the weather was sunny and cloudy to light rain," said Meteorological Station forecaster Zainuddin Abdul Madjid (ZAM) Aprilia Mustika in a statement in Mataram, Antara, Monday, September 15.
Aprilia explained that light rain has an intensity of 0.1 to 5 millimeters per hour or 5 to 20 millimeters per day. Meanwhile, the intensity of moderate rain is 5 to 10 millimeters per hour or 20 to 30 millimeters per day.
The phenomenon of light to moderate rain has the potential to occur throughout West Nusa Tenggara from Lombok Island to Sumbawa Island.
On September 17, 2025, the majority of the weather is predicted to be cloudy to moderate rain with air temperatures ranging from 21 to 35 degrees Celsius and the dominant surface wind blows from east to south with a maximum speed of 35 kilometers per hour.
As for the period 18'21 September 2025, the general weather is predicted to be cloudy to light rain with wind conditions blowing from southeast to south with a maximum speed of 35 kilometers per hour.
Sea level temperatures, mostly parts of Indonesia, including West Nusa Tenggara, tend to be the same to be warmer than normal conditions. Warm sea level temperatures can increase the supply of water for the growth of rain clouds.
BMKG urges the public to use rain that falls as a source of fresh water to fill reservoirs, reservoirs, or other water reservoirs.
