JAKARTA - High waves will still hit a number of waters in Indonesia on Monday, March 18. However, the number of waters affected was not as much as before. From data from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), high waves reaching 2.5 meters to four meters will occur in two waters, namely the eastern Arafuru Sea, and the southern Indian Ocean of Central Java to West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). However, there will be a lot of waters that are hit by moderate waves with a height of 1.25 meters to 2.5 meters, so people are advised to remain vigilant if they are active at sea.

Earlier this week, the highest wind speeds will hit the Indian Ocean south of Central Java to NTB, the central and eastern parts of the Arafuru Sea, as well as the waters of Yos Sudarso to Merauke. Meanwhile, wind speeds in the northern region range from 6-20 knots moving from north to north, while in the southern part the speed is 6-30 knots from west to northwest.
