JAKARTA - The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) reminds the public to be aware of the potential for heavy to very heavy rain in a number of regions of Indonesia on Wednesday, April 22.
BMKG Praktirawan Miftah Ali said that the potential for significant weather was influenced by a combination of atmospheric dynamics, which created low pressure areas in the East Java region, the Bali Strait, and the South Java East Indian Ocean, and formed a convergence and confluence area that extends from the Flores Sea to the South Java Central Indian Ocean.
"This condition is able to increase the potential for rain cloud growth around low pressure areas, cyclonic circulation, and along the convergence and confluence areas," said Miftah, quoted Wednesday morning.
As a result, he continued, the readiness for potential heavy to very heavy rain needs to be increased in the North Sumatra, Jambi, Bangka Belitung Islands, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java regions.
BMKG also asked residents to be aware of the potential for rain accompanied by lightning in Banjarmasin City. Furthermore, the potential for moderate intensity rain in the western region is expected to rain on Bandung, Semarang, and Yogyakarta.
Meanwhile, it is clear that Miftah, light-scale rain has the potential to wet Medan, Pekanbaru, Padang, Tanjung Pinang, Jambi, Bengkulu, Palembang, Pangkalpinang, Lampung, Serang, Jakarta, Surabaya, Pontianak, Palangka Raya, Samarinda, and Tanjung Selor.
Heavy cloudy weather in the western region of Indonesia is expected to only cover the Banda Aceh area.
Entering the weather details of the eastern part of Indonesia, moderate intensity rain should be watched out for because it has the potential to occur in Nabire.
"Then, the potential for light rain is predicted to fall in Denpasar, Mataram, Kupang, Makassar, Mamuju, Palu, Gorontalo, Ambon, Jayawijaya, and Merauke," he said.
For the potential of cloudy to cloudy weather in the eastern region, it is estimated that it will cover the areas of Manado, Kendari, Ternate, Sorong, Manokwari, and Jayapura.
Miftah said that exposure was a general overview of the weather in an area. For weather conditions that are updated every hour, he reminded the public to always update weather forecast information through the official bmkg.go.id website and official social media accounts at @infobmkg.
