" he said as quoted in a BMKG press release received in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Friday, December 3. Dwikorita explained that the move away from the Nyatoh Cyclone system and the 94W cyclone seeds from Indonesian territory opened up opportunities for other atmospheric dynamics to increase, namely the increase in the flow of air masses flowing into the atmosphere. quite intense from the South China Sea region to the south into the Indonesian atmosphere. These conditions, he continued, can increase the potential for rain cloud growth that can cause high rainfall in Indonesian territory. "Beware of hydrometeorological disasters that may accompany it.
