YOGYAKARTA People need to understand what the 91P cyclone seeds were recently discovered by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). This phenomenon has the potential to trigger extreme weather.

Previously, BMKG through social media announced that they found the seeds of tropical cyclone 91P which were observed to be in the Arafuru sea east of Arafuru Kep. Aru. Based on monitoring results, the cyclone seeds have a maximum wind speed of 19 - 46 km/hour and a minimum air pressure of 1007 hPa.

Simply put, the seeds of cyclone 91P are one of the phenomena related to weather in the ocean. Usually this phenomenon has an impact on the presence of storms that trigger high sea waves. Called seeds because this phenomenon has the potential to become a tropical cyclone that leads to extreme weather.

Meanwhile, what is tropical cyclone is a storm that has great strength with an average radius of 150 to 200 km. Tropical cyclones themselves form over oceans with warm sea level temperatures reaching more than 26.5 degC.

As explained earlier, certain weather is called cyclone seeds because these conditions have the potential to develop to become tropical cyclones. Cyclone seeds themselves will usually cause heavy rains in the areas they pass through.

However, the impact could change drastically if the seeds turn into cyclones. Some of the impacts of tropical cyclones that will occur are as follows, reported by BMKG.

Reporting from Antara, BMKG forecaster Rif'at Darajat explained that the weather for big cities in Indonesia is predicted to be dominated by rain. This is due to the presence of three cyclonic circulations and the seeds of tropical cyclone 91P.

"Three cyclonic circulations in the waters north of West Kalimantan, then the northern Pacific Ocean from Papua and the Banda Sea. This condition is able to increase the potential for rain cloud growth around the cyclonic circulation area," said Rif'at Darajat, quoted Tuesday, May 7.

Rif'at also explained that the chances of tropical cyclone 91P seeds detected around the Arafuru Sea being a cyclone are low. However, these conditions will trigger moderate to heavy rain accompanied by strong winds around the detected cyclone seed area.

Some areas that experience light rain with intensity are as follows.

Meanwhile, areas experiencing moderate intensity rain are as follows.

Areas that have the potential to experience heavy rain in Medan.

BMKG appealed to the public to be aware of rain with lightning and lightning in several areas, namely Padang, Tanjungpinang, Jambi, and Pangkalpinang.

Meanwhile, sunny weather is expected to occur in Surabaya. Other areas in Java, namely Serang, Semarang, Bandung, and Yogyakarta are predicted to be cloudy. The Jakarta area is predicted to experience light rain intensity.

Rifa'i in his statement also stated that on the islands of Bali and Nusa Tenggara the weather was dominated by sunny to cloudy weather. Meanwhile, the weather in Denpasar and Kupang is predicted to be cloudy, then in Mataram it is estimated that the weather will be cloudy.

Sunny to cloudy weather is predicted to occur on the islands of Kalimantan and Banjarmasin. Meanwhile in Palangka Raya, light rain is predicted.
