The people in the coastal area of West Nusa Tenggara are advised by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to be aware of the potential for tidal flooding for 11 days, from 5-16 July 2025.
"The wave height ranges from 0.1 to 2.5 meters with a maximum tide of more than 1.9 meters," said Head of the Zainuddin Meteorological Station Abdul Madjid (ZAM) Satria Topan Primadi in a report in Mataram, reported by ANTARA, Saturday, July 5.
The potential tidal flooding that occurred this month was due to the full moon phase phenomenon that will occur on July 10, 2025. The full moon phase can increase the maximum sea level due to lunar gravity.
Satria said the weather conditions for the next 11 days were sunny cloudy to light rain. The wind blows from east to southwest at a speed of 5-25 knots.
According to him, there are two areas that have the potential to be affected by the flood, namely Lombok and Sumbawa. The details of the areas on Lombok Island are Ampenan, Sekarbela, Gerung, Lembar, Pemenang, Jerowaru, and Labuhan Lombok.
Then areas have the potential to be affected on Sumbawa Island starting from Sumbawa Regency, Labuhan Badas, Palibelo, Woha, Bolo, Langgudu, Soromandi, Sape, West Rasanae, Hu'u, and Asakota.
"The tide time in Lembar occurs from 08.00 to 13.00 WITA, while the tide time in Sape takes place from 09.00 WITA to 15.00 WITA," said Satria.
