This Senyar Tropical Cyclone has an impact on increasing intensity and triggering extreme weather in the form of heavy to extreme rain, high waves, and strong winds in the North Sumatra region.
"With very high humidity, the air is wet enough to support the potential for rain with heavy to very heavy intensity in several areas of North Sumatra," said Hendro.
