The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) stated that the potential for rain in the Province of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) will increase in early 2024, so residents are expected to remain alert to hydrometeorological disasters.

"Stay alert to hydrometeorological disasters, because there is a potential for increased rainfall at the beginning of this year," said BMKG forecaster for NTB Nusa Tenggara Climatology Station Yuhanna Maurits, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 2.

Some areas of NTB have been observed to have entered the 2023/2024 rainy season and some are still in the transition period, he said, so people need to be aware of potential hydrometeorological disasters, such as heavy rains accompanied by strong winds that can occur suddenly and are local, floods and landslides.

"In addition, people can take advantage of rain that falls to fill water reservoirs such as reservoirs, reservoirs, or other rainwater reservoirs," said Yuhana.

The BMKG stated that the monitoring results showed that the ENSO index (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) was observed to be in a moderate condition, which had been going on for 22 basics.

Meanwhile, the IOD (Od) condition is positive and is predicted to go neutral until at least mid-2024.

Meanwhile, El Nino is predicted to continue to survive at a moderate level until early 2024. The flow of air masses in Indonesian territory is dominated by westerly winds, but the east wind is still visible in a small part of northern Indonesia.

Winds occurred in central Sumatra, North Kalimantan, and northern Sulawesi. A low pressure system occurs in the North Natuna Sea. Meanwhile, a low pressure system is predicted to occur in the North Natuna Sea.

Analysis on the second basis of December 2023 shows that MJO (Madden Julian Oscillation) is active in phases 6 and 7 and is predicted to be active towards phases 1 and 2 until the beginning of the first base in January 2024.

"MJO is related to convection/potential activities of rain clouds in Indonesian territory," he said.
