KUPANG - Class II Kupang Climatology Station The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that generally areas in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) will experience low rainfall in Dasarian (10 days) II May 2022.

"Based on the deterministic forecast of the Dasarian II rainfall in May 2022, it is estimated that in general there will be low rainfall (0-50 millimeters)," said BMKG Kupang Class II Climatology Station Head Rahmattulloh Adji in Kupang, Wednesday.

He said this was related to the weather forecast in the NTT region on Dasarian II in May 2022.

Rahmattulloh explained that in Dasarian I, generally the NTT region also experienced low rainfall. Only a small part of the West Manggarai Regency, Flores Island, experiences high rainfall (151-300 millimeters). This condition of low rainfall indicates that the NTT region is starting to enter the dry season, so it is necessary to be aware of the effects of drought.

People in areas that are still experiencing Rainy Days (HH), he said, need to take advantage of it by collecting rainwater so that it can be used to meet needs during the dry season.

"This remaining rainfall can be accommodated as much as possible so that it can be used to face the threat of drought due to drought," he said.

On the other hand, the threat of strong winds that are dry in the dry season also needs to be watched out for because it has the potential to trigger the spread of forest and land fires.

Rahmattulloh added that the community also needs to continue to monitor the development of weather information from the BMKG so that they can take steps to anticipate the impact of the hydrometeorological disaster.
