The rain that occurred in the Jabodetabek area caused five Ciliwung water gates in the Jakarta area to overflow and caused several areas in Jakarta to be flooded. Meanwhile, the condition of Ciliwung upstream of Puncak Bogor is still normal.

The DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) recorded that 11 roads and 21 RTs were flooded as of 11.00 WIB.

This is due to moderate to heavy rain in the capital city from Thursday, February 23 evening to Friday, February 24 this afternoon.

One of them, a 30 cm high flood inundation occurred on Jalan Bungur Besar, Central Jakarta. As a result, Jalan Bungur Besar in the direction of Senen experienced a slight obstacle.

As a result of the flood, it appears that the Public Infrastructure and Facilities Handling (PPSU) officers are also struggling to irrigate flooding so that they no longer soak the shoulder of the road.

Meanwhile, based on reports, Ciliwung's water level (TMA) rose at five of the 12 floodgates in the Jakarta area.

The five floodgates are Manggarai with a water level of 795 centimeters (TMA), Karet 450 centimeters, Angke Hulu 220 centimeters, Pasar Ikan 190 centimeters, and Pintu Air Pulo Gadung with a TMA of 560 centimeters.

Meanwhile, in the upstream area of Ciliwung, Bogor and Depok areas, the flow of water is still normal. TMA Katulampa Dam until Friday afternoon was only 60 centimeters and Depok was 140 centimeters.

Head of Katulampa Dam Andi Sudirman said that the increase in TMA at several floodgates in Jakarta was not a shipment of water from upstream Ciliwung in Bogor, but from local rain around Jakarta and Rob's water from sea water.

"Jakarta floods are not sent from Bogor. It could be because local rain in Jakarta causes the water discharge at the Water Gate to rise and it could also be because the drainage system is bad so water doesn't enter the sewer but stagnates on the road," Andi told Voi.id, Friday afternoon.

he said, the weather in Bogor is currently still raining with light intensity and upstream Ciliwung in Puncak is cloudy.

"Ciliwung water discharge could increase drastically plus water from Bogor. For this reason, people along the banks and downstream of the Ciliwung river in the Jakarta area should remain vigilant," added Andi.

The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warned that heavy rain accompanied by lightning and strong winds could occur until Friday night.

Based on BMKG data, the extreme weather early warning for Jabodetabek was raining with heavy intensity accompanied by lightning and strong winds starting at 15.00 WIB.

"This rain with heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds is expected to continue until 18:30 WIB," wrote BMKG.
