YOGYAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that the weather in all regencies/cities in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) will be cloudy on New Year's Eve, Sunday 31 December.

"For tonight, at the turn of the year, DIY is predicted to be cloudy," said Head of the Yogyakarta BMKG Meteorological Station Warjono when contacted in Yogyakarta, Sunday, December 31, as reported by Antara.

Five regencies/cities in DIY, including the Tugu, Malioboro, and the Yogyakarta Palace, are recorded to have humidity of 65 to 95 percent with air temperatures of 24 to 32 degrees Celsius and are predicted to be cloudy on Sunday, December 31 evening and sunny cloudy on Monday, January 1 in the morning.

Meanwhile, he continued, the wave height along the southern coast of DIY currently ranges from 1.25 - 2.5 meters or moderate categories.

Warjono said the potential for moderate to heavy rain accompanied by lightning was influenced by the cyclonic circulation in Kalimantan, causing the wind bend area (shearline) in the Java Sea which caused a slowdown in wind speed.

In general, the pattern of westerly winds is starting to activate, but as a result of the cyclonic pattern, the wind pattern that dominates in Java and DIY in particular is still blowing from the Southeast-South direction with speeds ranging from 20 to 35 km per hour.

"Please carry out activities, but continue to monitor the publication of BMKG information so that they can take safer and more comfortable steps," said Warjono.
