JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reminded of the potential for strong winds that hit the Jakarta area to the Thousand Islands waters on March 5-6, 2026. This early warning was conveyed based on information from the BMKG Tanjung Priok Maritime Meteorology Station.
Head of the DKI Jakarta BPBD Isnawa Adji said that the potential for strong winds is expected to occur in the DKI Jakarta Province, the Thousand Islands waters, and the Jakarta Bay during the period.
"Based on information from the BMKG Tanjung Priok Maritime Meteorology Station regarding the early warning of strong winds in the DKI Jakarta Province, Thousand Islands Waters and Jakarta Bay which is valid from March 5-6, 2026," said Isnawa in his statement, Thursday, March 5.
In the waters of the Thousand Islands and Jakarta Bay, the maximum wind speed is estimated to reach 20-25 knots. In general, the potential for strong winds can reach 20-30 knots or about 37-55 kilometers per hour.
"Increase vigilance and anticipate the impact of potential strong winds of 20-30 knots (37 km-55 km/h), Beaufort Scale (5-7) which can occur on March 05-06, 2026," said Isnawa.
However, the height of the sea wave is expected to be in the low category. BMKG estimates that the wave height will range from 0.5 to 1.25 meters in a number of waters, including the Thousand Islands, Jakarta Bay, Bekasi-Karawang waters, Subang, to Indramayu.
BPBD reminded of the potential risks to the safety of navigation, especially for small boats such as fishing boats. Strong winds can increase the risk if the wind speed exceeds a certain threshold accompanied by high waves.
In addition, strong winds also have the potential to have an impact on land. Residents are asked to be aware of the possibility of trees falling, billboards falling, and damage to non-permanent buildings, especially in coastal areas.
"The appeal is to be alert to potential dangers due to strong winds, such as fallen trees, billboards and unstable poles, non-permanent buildings in coastal areas that are easily collapsed by the wind, friction between ships that are too close together in the port," said Isnawa.
BPBD also appealed to the public to avoid sheltering under large trees or billboards when the weather is windy. Temporary building owners in coastal areas are asked to strengthen the structure of the building so that it is not easily collapsed.
In addition, port managers and ship owners are reminded to arrange the distance between ships so that they do not rub against each other when there is a strong wind.
