BENGKULU - The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) Fatmawati Soekarno Bengkulu Meteorological Station urges the public to be alert and cautious because up to three days in the future there will be strong winds and rain with moderate to heavy intensity.
"For strong winds in Bengkulu, it is predicted that it will still be three days ahead. So for people in Bengkulu Province, especially those who are on the coast or those who are near tall trees, be careful to park cars and stay away from trees," said the Head of the BMKG Meteorological Station Fatmawati Bengkulu Tri Widiarto in Bengkulu City, Antara, Wednesday, February 18.
For the potential of moderate to heavy rain, it is still possible to occur accompanied by strong winds that can appear suddenly, especially during the day and night so that it has the potential to interfere with community activities.
Then, the wind speed in the waters of Bengkulu can reach a range of 10 to 15 knots, and can trigger higher sea waves and increase the risk for traditional shipping and fishing activities.
He said, rain with moderate to heavy intensity accompanied by strong winds, so that there is a potential for trees to fall, waterlogging, and traffic disruption.
Tri explained that the change in weather was caused by the active atmospheric dynamics in the western part of Sumatra, with the growth of rain clouds expected to still occur alternately in a number of areas, making the weather difficult to predict with the naked eye.
Therefore, the public is asked to be more careful, especially when they are outside, avoid open areas during strong winds, do not shelter under large trees, and pay attention to the condition of the surrounding environment as a simple step to reduce risk.
"In addition to wind, increased waves can affect maritime activities, so fishermen are urged to consider safety factors before departing," he explained.
