Jakarta is predicted to rain heavily for the next 3 days
JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has issued an early warning of extreme weather for the DKI Jakarta and Thousand Islands regions in the next few days.
In the warning, BMKG said that the potential for moderate to heavy rain could occur from March 29 to April 2, 2026.
This condition risks triggering puddles to flooding at a number of points, especially areas with limited drainage systems.
The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) appealed to the public to increase vigilance against potential hydrometeorological disasters. Residents are asked to prepare basic equipment such as umbrellas or raincoats, as well as disaster standby bags.
"The public is urged to always be alert and ready to anticipate the impact of extreme weather," said the Head of the BPBD Isnawa Adji in his statement, quoted on Monday, March 30.
In addition, the public is also asked to actively monitor the condition of the surrounding environment, including the water level at water gates that can be accessed online through the official government website.
Residents who find the potential for puddles or flooding are also urged to immediately report it through the Jakarta Kini (JAKI) application so that it can be immediately followed up by officers.
