BENGKULU CITY - The weather and hot temperatures that have hit Bengkulu City since the last few days, according to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) are caused by pseudo solar motion.

The Head of Data and Information at the Baai Island Climatology Station, Bengkulu Island, Anang Anwar, said the phenomenon was because the position of the sun is just above the equator, causing a phenomenon without a shadow. "For the current hot temperature weather, we can see that the position of the sun is above the equator so that we immediately face it," he said in Bengkulu City, reported by ANTARA, Saturday, March 2. As a result of this phenomenon, the energy of the direct and indirect solar light waves is accumulated on the earth's surface so that there is a very strong evaporation. Then, said Anang, there will also be a process of rapidly convective cloud formation occurring, so that the people of Bengkulu City feel the weather or hot temperature in the morning until the afternoon and there will be rain with moderate to heavy intensity as it approaches the evening. "Until now, the highest temperature was recorded on February 27 which reached 35.6 degrees Celsius and based on today's observations, the temperature in Bengkulu City was recorded at 31 degrees Celsius," he said.

Therefore, his party appealed to the entire community to always maintain the condition of body stamina and maintain adequate body fluids, especially for residents who are active outdoors, especially during the day so that dehydration, fatigue and other bad effects do not occur., so that the results of the evaporation formed clouds that moved according to the direction of the wind in the upper layers.
