YOGYAKARTA Towards the end of February, most parts of Indonesia entered the peak of the rainy season. This is in accordance with the prediction of the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) last September.

"The peak of the 2023/2024 Rainy Season in Indonesia is mostly predicted to occur in January and February 2024," wrote BMKG on its official website, quoted by VOI.

So, how long is the 2024 rainy season? Check out the full information below.

Summarized from various sources, Friday, February 23, 2024, the rainy season for the 2023/2024 period came late due to the phenomenon of el Nino (anomaly rising sea surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean) which caused prolonged dryness in 2023.

In addition, El Nino also has an impact on the variability of the rainy season in the country. Several regions/season zones (ZOM) experience a brief setback.

Usually, the rainy season in Indonesia begins in November. In the period 2023/2024, rain only arrived in December. In fact, some areas, such as DKI Jakarta, have just entered the rainy season in January 2024.

In September 2023, BMKG shared its predictions about the rainy season for the 2023/2024 period. In its prediction, BMKG explained that most parts of Indonesia will experience the peak of the rainy season in January-February 2024.

Meanwhile, regarding the duration of the rainy season, it is explained that most areas experience a shorter season than normal as much as 439 ZOM or around 62.80 percent of Indonesia's territory. This means that in chronology, the peak of the rainy season has slowly disappeared every month since the beginning of the year.

The following are the details of the regional zone (ZOM) at the peak of the rainy season in January-August 2024.

Based on this data, the rainy season for the 2023/2024 period is likely to end in April-May 2024. Meanwhile, in June, some parts of Indonesia will still experience rain. According to BMKG's explanation, there are areas that experience a longer duration of the rainy season of around 91 ZOM.
