JAKARTA - The majority of regions in Indonesia start from the west, central and east to be aware of the potential impact of heavy rain on Saturday, July 6.

Quoting Antara, in the BMKG Public Meteorological Center analysis report, detailed areas that must be aware of the impact of heavy rains, including on the islands of Sumatra (South Sumatra, Lampung), Java Island (DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and Banten).

For the islands of Kalimantan (West, Central, South, East, and North Kalimantan), Sulawesi Island (North, Central, South, Southeast, West, and Gorontalo Islands), Maluku (Maluku, North Maluku), Papua (West Papua, Southwest, Central Papua, South Papua and Papua Mountains.

In addition to heavy rains, BMKG also reminded the public from the majority of the provinces to be aware of the heavy rain accompanied by lightning and lightning on Saturday afternoon, afternoon and early morning.

Previously, BMKG Deputy for Meteorology Guswanto explained that the potential impact of disasters due to rain in a number of parts of Indonesia that were still high could have occurred, although it had actually started entering the dry season.

The potential for increased rain is triggered by several atmospheric dynamics that are still active in Indonesian territory, namely the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) phenomenon, the Rossby Kelvin equatorial wave. Until the cyclonic circulation pattern and La Nina also further strengthen the potential for the formation of the rainy cloud.

The combination of the influence of these phenomena is predicted by the BMKG meteorological team to create the potential for moderate-heavy rain, accompanied by lightning / strong winds.

BMKG assesses that such conditions can also have an impact on extreme hydro-meteorological weather which includes floods, flash floods, tornadoes, landslides and so on, although at the same time Indonesia will face the peak of the dry season in the second basic mid-July September 2024.
