JAKARTA The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warned that heavy rains still have the potential to flush the Jakarta area to this day, Friday, January 31.
BMKG's Director of Public Meteorology, Andri Ramdhani, said that the Jabodetabek area, especially Jakarta, has the opportunity to experience moderate to heavy rain.
"The results of monitoring the atmosphere model show that rainfall remains high, especially in the afternoon until evening," said Andri.
However, after February 1, 2025, the intensity of rain is expected to begin to decline along with the weakening of factors that trigger heavy rains.
Andri explained that the high rainfall in the last few days was caused by a combination of various atmospheric phenomena at the global, regional, and local levels.
He also reminded that heavy rains have the potential to cause puddles and flooding at several points, especially in areas with inadequate drainage systems.
