BANJARNEGARA - The phenomenon of frost or frost has appeared again in the Dieng Highlands Tourism Area (KWDT). The temperature in Dieng was recorded at minus three degrees Celsius.

"This is the second appearance during August, on Saturday (8/8) yesterday it appeared at a temperature of minus one and today at a temperature of minus three," said Head of the Technical Implementation Unit for Dieng Tourism Objects, Department of Tourism and Culture of Banjarnegara Regency Sri Utami, quoted by Antara, Sunday, August 9th.

He explained that the emergence of frost or frost is one of the tourist attractions at that location. Many tourists come to Dieng because they want to see this phenomenon.

Sri Utami said a number of tourist attractions in Dieng had been opened since August 1 with the implementation of very strict health protocols.

"We always convey information about this health protocol to tourists, using masks, maintaining physical distance, washing hands and avoiding crowds are imperative for safety and mutual comfort," he said.

Tourists will be guided by a tour guide who is also tasked with reminding about health protocols.

"The group is guided by a tour guide, one guide for about 20 tourists. One of its functions is to remind people about health protocols," he said.

Sri Utami said, on weekends many tourists stay at homestays around tourist attractions.

"There are also tourists who deliberately wait for the emergence of dew in the parking area of Arjuna Temple," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of Geophysics Station of BMKG Banjarnegara Setyoajie Prayoedhie added that during the dry season, the Dieng Plateau has high humidity, different from other areas in Central Java.

The high humidity is due to the complexity of the mountains and land cover. At this time, frost or frost forms.

He added that the pattern of daily air humidity in Dieng can become saturated or condensed by early morning. Due to the temperature of the environment which is very cold, the water or dew drops that have formed then turn into ice crystals or dew drops.
