Pramono Launches Early Warning System for Jakarta Air Quality, Residents Can Check Forecasts up to Three Days

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has launched an early warning air quality system that allows residents to know the air condition predictions up to three days in advance. This new feature is expected to be a reference for the community in planning activities as well as strengthening anticipation steps when the air quality is expected to worsen.

The system was launched by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung when opening the Jakarta Eco Future Festival (JEFF) 2026. The platform was developed by the DKI Provincial Government together with the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) and the DKI Jakarta Health Service.

Unlike air quality monitoring services that have only displayed current conditions, this new system presents air quality predictions up to three days in advance.

"The utilization of technology is an important part of air pollution control. With more accurate and easily accessible information, the government and the public can take faster and more appropriate steps to deal with changes in air quality," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, July 3.

On the same occasion, Pramono also inaugurated the Waste Station or the City Hall Waste Bank. This facility is part of the DKI Provincial Government's efforts to encourage a culture of sorting waste starting from the government environment.

"I hope this step will inspire institutions, offices, and residential areas to implement better waste management. The more people involved, the greater the benefits felt together," said Pramono.

Pramono assessed that air pollution control and waste management must go hand in hand to support Jakarta towards a global city. Therefore, he invited the public to develop new habits that are more concerned about the environment.

"Big changes come from simple habits that are done consistently. Therefore, I invite all residents of Jakarta to make sorting garbage a new culture towards a cleaner and sustainable city," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Environment Service, Dudi Gardesi, explained that the main difference of the new air quality monitoring system that was launched was in its ability to predict the air conditions in the next few days.

"This is a step for what the next 3 days, that's the only difference. So it's not just the current condition, but there are predictions for the next 3 days," said Dudi.

In the future, the service will also be integrated with the JAKI application so that the public can access air quality information through their respective mobile phones.

"The position will be on each mobile (mobile), so the application can be in the form of an application, it will be connected to JAKI. Then there is a spot point, there are sensors located throughout Jakarta. Later, what will be read is close to which one for our current position," he concluded.
