JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) appealed to drivers to be aware of rain that still has the potential to occur on the southern route of Central Java (Central Java) and Central Java on Saturday night.

Head of the BMKG Technician Group of Meteorological Station Tunggul Wulung Cilacap Teguh Wardoyo, in Cilacap, Saturday, said that parts of the southern region of Central Java and the central mountains of Central Java had rained with light to moderate intensity since Saturday (13/4) afternoon.

In fact, he said, the rain with light to moderate intensity still has the potential to occur on Saturday (13/4) night until Sunday (14/4) morning.

"Therefore, especially those who ride motorbikes are advised to be careful and remain alert to the possibility of slippery roads due to rainwater or soil being carried away by water," he said, quoted by Antara.

From observations at the Integrated Operations Post of Ketupat Candi 2024 the Banyumas City Resort Police (Polresta) located at the Ajibarang Gas Station intersection, Banyumas Regency, Saturday (13/4) night, a number of motorcyclists from the south and the middle lanes who were about to return to Jakarta via the northern coast line were seen wearing a coat to protect the body from being wet by rainwater.

Meanwhile, the flow of vehicles from the direction of Ajibarang to Bumiayu, Brebes Regency, stalled so that Integrated Post officers enforce an open-close system for vehicles from the direction of Wangon or the southern lane or from the direction of Purwokerto so that they can enter the Ajibarang-Bumiayu road in turn.

In addition, the Banyumas Police Urai Team also continues to try to unravel the density of vehicles passing through the road to the northern coast route.
