JAKARTA - The existence of tropical cyclone Robyn in the Indian Ocean region west of Banten Province in the last few hours is predicted by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to induce an increase in wind speed in crossed areas.

This statement was made by BMKG Prakirawati Sekar Anggraeni, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, November 30, in a report on the development of Indonesia's daily weather which was followed in Jakarta, Saturday morning.

He explained that tonight the tropical cyclone Robyn was still being observed in the Indian Ocean southwest of Banten with a maximum wind speed of 30 knots and a minimum air pressure of 998 hPa.

The day before or on Friday night the BMKG also monitored the presence of the cyclone in the same area and had a maximum wind speed of 45 knots and a minimum air pressure of 991 hPa.

BMKG predicts this tropical cyclone will decay to a low pressure area in the next few hours or Saturday, November 30 at 19.00 WIB. This decay is also predicted to induce an increase in wind speed around the Indian Ocean west of Banten Province.

Nevertheless, BMKG ensures that in general there will be no impact caused by tropical cyclone Robyn on weather conditions and waters in Indonesian territory during this time span.
