KALTENG - BMKG Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) Tjilik Riwut Palangka Raya Meteorology Station urges fishermen and the public along the coastal waters of the southern region of this province to be more vigilant. The article, the potential for waves of more than one meter high has been reported to increase.
"Be aware of the high potential of waves ranging from 0.5 to 1.25 meters in the southern waters of Central Kalimantan for a week," said Prakirawan of the Tjilik Riwut Meteorological Station, Renianata in Palangka Raya, quoted by ANTARA on Monday, February 16.
Renianata also appealed to coastal communities to be careful when they are in the sea because the high waves are in the low to medium category.
His party also warned coastal residents of the growth of convective clouds or Cumulonimbus clouds (CB) which have the potential to make moderate to heavy intensity rain, and cause strong winds and increase the height of sea waves.
"Be aware of the growth of CB clouds that can increase wave heights in coastal areas and waters south of Central Kalimantan. The coastal community is urged to be careful when doing activities at sea," said Renianata.
He explained that there were areas of wind turning and wind speed deceleration (convergence) observed in the Central Kalimantan region. This condition is able to increase the potential for the growth of rain clouds along the region.
"Supported by fairly wet air humidity, he continued, strong local lability which supports the convective process on a local scale also increases the potential for rain cloud growth in the Central Kalimantan region.
He added that over the next seven days, the wind speed potential is estimated to be between 5-20 kilometers/hour. This wind generally blows from south to east.
"Meanwhile, the air temperature ranges from 23 to 33 degrees Celsius. Air humidity ranges from 60 to 100 percent," said Renianata.
The public can also update information on weather developments, the public can access the services provided by BMKG through the official BMKG website, the BMKG application, and various BMKG social media.
