MEDAN - The Center for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BBMKG) Region I Medan asked the public to be aware of an increase in air temperature. The potential for an increase in air temperature is called the BMKG to reach 34 degrees Celsius in North Sumatra.

"What needs to be watched out for, maybe the temperature. Our temperatures in February to March can reach 33 to 34 degrees Celsius", said Forecaster BBMKG Region I Medan, Christin Matondang in Medan, quoted by Antara, Saturday, February 20.

The impact of the increase in air temperature is not only felt during the day but also at night due to the dry weather and feels hotter than the previous 32 degrees Celsius.

Residents, especially in the city of Medan, will experience chills, especially at night in the middle of the transition from the season to the dry season that is currently happening.

"In general, the rainfall in North Sumatra is much reduced. In North Sumatra there are two periods of fairly low rain, namely February to March, and July to August", he said.

"So in North Sumatra, unlike in Java, the rain pattern is different. For the potential for moderate to heavy rain, it has decreased in February", said Christin.
