According to him, within the next 24 hours the seeds of 97W cyclone can have an indirect impact on weather conditions in Indonesia, namely triggering sea waves with a height of 1.25 to 2.5 meters in the South China Sea. The next 24 hours can also have an indirect impact on weather conditions in Indonesia. The seeds of the tropical cyclone, according to him, can cause sea waves as high as 1.25 to 2.5 meters in the northern Maluku Sea, northern waters of Biak, Raja Waters.
