YOGYAKARTA - News about the emergence of Tropical Cyclone Taliah around Indonesia recently immediately raised concerns. This tropical storm has the potential to have a significant impact on weather and environmental conditions in various regions.

However, how big is the threat of the Taliah Cyclone to Indonesia? Will the impact be significant, or is this just an ordinary natural phenomenon that doesn't need to be too violent?

This article will thoroughly explore information related to Tropical Cyclone Taliah, including predictions of its movement path, potential impacts that may be caused, as well as anticipatory steps that need to be watched out for.

Head of the El Tari Kupang Meteorological Station, Sti Nenotek, as reported by Antanews said on Tuesday that Tropical Cyclone Tahliah and Tropical Cyclone Vince had moved away from the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) region.

Previously, these two cyclones had raised concerns because their position around the south of Indonesia caused high rainfall in NTT in recent weeks.

With the distance of the two cyclones, the people of NTT no longer need to worry. Nevertheless, Sti Nenotek added that the weather such as the current wind rain in NTT is not related to the two cyclones.

Despite staying away from NTT, based on BMKG data on Wednesday (5/2/2025), the Tropical Cyclone Taliah is currently observed to be in the Indian Ocean, about 930 km southwest of Denpasar, with maximum wind speeds reaching 130 km/hour.

BMKG has confirmed the latest developments regarding Tropical Cyclone Taliah. In the last 24 hours, the maximum wind speed of this cyclone has increased, although it is still categorized as a Tropical Cyclone in Category Three.

The movement of the Taliah Cyclone was observed heading west-southwest, away from the Indonesian archipelago.

However, the existence of Tropical Cyclone Taliah is not completely separated from the potential impact on weather conditions in Indonesia.

BMKG also predicts that this cyclone can trigger indirect impacts such as heavy rain, strong winds, and high waves in several parts of Indonesian waters. This condition is expected to last until 19.00 WIB on February 5, 2025.

Weather Zone Australia noted that the two tropical cyclones have formed in the Indian Ocean, northwest of Australia, in the last 48 hours, with 75% of the cyclones in Australia so far this season being a severe cyclone.

The two cyclones are indicators of the strength and structure of the cyclone, with the two cyclones indeed a severe category three system.

Tropical cyclone Taliah was first formed in northern Pilbara on Sunday and developed into a category three system on Tuesday morning.

At 7:10 a.m. (Australian time), the Taliah was located 740km northwest of Karratha, moving west away from land at a speed of about 13km/hour.

Although the Taliban may not have had a direct impact on the mainland, it has caused a sizeable wave around its center. The continental ground protects the coastal waters of Pilbara and Kimberley Australia, but the waves could still reach two to three meters on Tuesday.
