NTB - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported that temperatures in the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) region reached 31-37 degrees Celsius in the last 10 days. The observations during the last 10 hri were carried out in four places. The results in the Central Lombok region reached 31-33 degrees Celsius, while West Lombok was 32-34 degrees Celsius. "The Sultan Muhammad Kaharudin Meteorological Station in Sumbawa air temperature reaches 33 to 37 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin Bima Meteorological Station has air temperature reaching 33 to 36 degrees Celsius," said BMKG forecaster Zaenudin Abdul Madjid (ZAM) Lombok Meteorological Station, Joko Raharjo in Praya, Lombok, NTB, Thursday, October 5, confiscated by Antara. BMKG stated that the causes of the hot heat in most areas of NTB Province, namely Mataram, West Lombok, North Lombok, Central Lombok, East Lombok, Sumbawa, West Sumbawa, Bima, and Dompu, are dominated by sunny cloudy weather. In addition, the lack of cloud cover is due to the lack of cloud growth rates and low humidity levels. "The NTB area is still in the dry season, as a result of the El Nino phenomenon being active," he said.

He said the apparent position of the sun is partly in the equatorial area, so that sunlight is relatively more intense in Indonesian territory, including NTB. Therefore, BMKG appeals to the public to always maintain health conditions, especially for people who are active outdoors to avoid dehydration and other bad effects. "Residents are expected to maintain their health when carrying out activities outside the home," he said.
