JAKARTA - Light rain to heavy rain accompanied by lightning is predicted to flush the majority of major cities in Indonesia on Saturday, so all parties are asked to be aware of the potential that accompanies it.

BMKG forecaster Andika Hapsari explained that the potential for light intensity rain or with rainfall less than 2.5 mm per hour is predicted to flush Banda Aceh, Padang, Tanjungpinang, Jambi, Pangkal Pinang, Lampung, Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Denpasar, Mataram, Palangka Raya, Samarinda, Palu, Kendari, Sorong, Jayapura.

Rain with moderate intensity or rainfall of more than 4.0 mm per hour with temperatures ranging from 24-31 degrees Celsius is predicted to flush the cities of Medan, Pontianak, Gorontalo, Manado, Ternate, Nabire, Jayawijaya and Merauke.

Heavy rain with rainfall of more than 50 mm per hour is predicted to flush Mamuju City. Meanwhile, Pekanbaru, Palembang, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Kupang, Tanjung Selor, Banjarmasin and Makassar are expected to be hit by rain accompanied by lightning.

The cities of Bengkulu, Serang, Ambon and Manokwari are forecasted to be cloudy and or foggy throughout the day with temperatures ranging from 25-30 degrees Celsius.

Prakirawati BMKG explained that the Tropical Cyclone 96S seeds were observed from the southwest Indian Ocean of Sumatra which induced an increase in wind speed in the western Indian Ocean of Sumatra to the southern Indian Ocean of Banten West Java.

Then the cyclonic circulation was also observed in the western Indian Ocean of Aceh and Natuna which formed a deceleration of wind speed or elongated convergence in the waters north of Aceh - the southern sea of Natuna, Jambi Lampung, West Kalimantan - East Kalimantan and central Papua. This condition is able to increase the rainy clouds along the area.

In this case, wind conditions at 3,000 feet high in Indonesia are generally dominated by winds blowing from the east and southeast at a speed of 13-30 kilometers per hour. The air temperature is generally 16-34 degrees Celsius and humidity 58-100 percent.

BMKG analyzes generally the sea wave height predicted at 0.5-2.5 meters. However, the community around the western waters of the Nias-Lampung Islands, the western Indian Ocean of Sumatra, the southern Indian Ocean of Banten, was asked to be aware of sea waves of 2.5 - 4 meters high.

The potential for tidal flooding is also predicted to occur on the coast of the Riau Islands, North Coast of Central Java and the West Kalimantan Coast on Saturday.
