JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that the weather in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) regions on Monday, August 3, will be dominated by cloudy to cloudy conditions with air temperatures ranging from 22 to 34 degrees Celsius.

Entering the beginning of August, the dry season still dominates most of Indonesia, including Jabodetabek, although the potential for the formation of local rain clouds can still occur in the afternoon and evening.

In the DKI Jakarta area, the weather is expected to be cloudy from morning to afternoon, then cloudy in the afternoon and evening. The air temperature ranges from 25 to 34 degrees Celsius with a humidity level of 45-85 percent. South Jakarta and East Jakarta are expected to be the areas with the highest temperature reaching 34 degrees Celsius, while Central Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta, and the Thousand Islands are in the range of 25-33 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, the Bogor area is predicted to experience sunny cloudy weather with air temperatures between 22 to 31 degrees Celsius. The Puncak, Cisarua, and southern Bogor Regency areas remain the region with the coldest temperature in Jabodetabek. An increase in cloud cover is expected in the afternoon, but the chance of rain is still local and light in intensity.

In Depok City, the weather is predicted to be sunny with a temperature ranging from 24 to 33 degrees Celsius. Similar conditions are also expected in Tangerang with a temperature of 24 to 33 degrees Celsius.

Bekasi is estimated to be one of the hottest areas in Jabodetabek with a maximum temperature of 34 degrees Celsius during the day. The weather, which tends to be sunny, is expected to support community activities, but residents are urged to avoid direct sunlight for a long time, especially from 11.00 to 15.00 WIB.

BMKG urges the public to maintain body fluid adequacy while carrying out activities outdoors, using protection from sun exposure such as hats, umbrellas, or sunscreen, and not burning waste or land because the dry weather conditions during the dry season can increase the risk of fire. BMKG also reminds that the strengthening of El Niño has the potential to make the drought conditions drier in August to September 2026.

In general, the weather in Jabodetabek on Monday is expected to be conducive for office activities, travel, and outdoor activities.

Even though the chance of rain is relatively small, the public is still advised to monitor the latest weather forecast information from the BMKG as a precautionary measure if there is a sudden change in weather conditions.
