JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has detected the presence of a new tropical cyclone that has the potential to trigger an increase in the intensity of moderate - heavy rain in Indonesia in the next 2-3 days.

BMKG Deputy Meteorology Guswanto said that after previously being detected by tropical cyclone Tahlia and tropical cyclone Vince in the southern Indian Ocean, in the last 24 hours, the seeds of tropical cyclone 92W appeared in the West Pacific Ocean north of West Papua.

Reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 6, based on the analysis of the latest BMKG meteorological team, tropical cyclone Vince has now moved away from Indonesian territory and has no effect on the dynamics of the weather in the country. Meanwhile, the tropical cyclone Taliah is still detected in the southern Indian Ocean or about 92 kilometers southwest of Cilacap, Central Java.

According to Guswanto, tropical cyclone Tahlia is expected to remain active in the next 24 hours with further movement to the west away from Indonesian territory. However, it still has the potential to cause moderate-intensity rain accompanied by strong winds on the southern coast of Banten-East Java.

On the other hand, he added, the seeds of the new cyclone, namely 92W in the western Pacific Ocean, are predicted to be still consistent and have the potential to cause moderate to heavy rain in the regions of Southwest Papua, West Papua, North Maluku and North Sulawesi.

The system also has an impact on increasing the wave height to 2.5 meters in the Maluku Sea, the waters of the Sangihe-Talaud Islands, the waters of Halmahera, the Halmahera Sea, and the waters north of Papua southwest of Papua.

BMKG reminded that in the next 2-3 days coastal communities, fishermen and sea transportation operators will pay attention to early warnings of extreme weather considering high waves in several southern Indonesian waters that pose a risk to shipping safety.

When heavy rains occur, people around rivers or hills are also aware of landslides and floods. It is important to pay attention to early signs such as the appearance of soil cracks and seepage of water- Make sure the drainage is functioning properly," he said.
