JAKARTA - BMKG predicts that almost all regions in Indonesia will be hit by a daily maximum heat temperature of up to 36 degrees Celsius in the next week.

This was conveyed by the Public Meteorology Center Team of the Miming Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 12, he said that in the last two days the maximum heat conditions had started to hit a number of areas from North Sumatra, Aceh, East Java, and Bali.

Based on the results of the analysis of the BMKG meteorological team on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at noon, the hottest temperature in the Aceh region was 36.6 degrees Celsius and North Sumatra 35.9 degrees Celsius.

The meteorological team at the same time also analyzed the maximum heat temperature as high as 34.8-34.0 degrees Celsius hitting most areas in West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Banten, South Sumatra, East Java and Bali.

"Yes, we still need to be aware of this condition in the next week, which is the hottest hot spot during the day," he said.

The BMKG meteorological team confirmed that in general the maximum heat temperature during the day was caused by the pseudo-solar motion with the closest distance in the equator.

This phenomenon also marks that the dry season will begin to hit Indonesia, which as previously predicted will take place from June to September 2024.

In order to reduce the impact of hot temperatures, BMKG urges people to consume mineral water adequately and regularly to avoid dehydration, especially when doing activities outdoors.

Then, using a shield such as a hat or umbrella to protect the head and upper body, sunglasses protect the eye, and sunscreen to protect yourself from exposure to ultraviolet rays (UV).
