JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said that most of Indonesia is expected to have light rain on Wednesday, December 3.

BMKG weather forecaster Maharani Intan said the potential for light rain occurred in Pekanbaru, Padang, Bengkulu, Jambi, Tanjung Pinang, Pangkal Pinang, Bandarlampung, and Samarinda.

Maharani added that there is also the potential for light rain in Denpasar, Mataram, Palu, Gorontalo, Manado, Kendari, Ternate, Ambon, Sorong, Manokwari, Jayapura, Jayawijaya, and Nabire.

Meanwhile, it is necessary to be aware of the potential for driving rain in Palembang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Pontianak, and Banjarmasin.

"Heavy rains in Bandung, moderate rain in Medan, Serang, Jakarta, Semarang, Palangka Raya, and Tanjung Selor," Maharani said as quoted by Antara.

For the eastern part of Indonesia, he continued, it is necessary to be aware of the potential for moderate rain in Mamuju, Makassar, and Merauke.

There is also the potential for thick cloudyness in Aceh and thick cloudy potential in Kupang.

On that occasion, he said cyclonic circulation was also observed in the Southern Banda Sea which formed a convergence area from the southern waters of Maluku to Maluku, from the Banda Sea to the Arafura Sea, as well as forming a confluency area in the Banda Sea or around the system.

Other convergence areas are predicted to be formed extending from the waters of North Aceh to North Sumatra, from North Sumatra to Riau, from the Riau Islands to the Bangka Belitung Islands, from the West Lampung to Bengkulu waters, from East Java to Banten.

Then from West Kalimantan to South Kalimantan, from the Sulawesi Sea to the North Pacific Ocean of Papua, from the Maluku Sea to North Maluku, and from Southwest Papua to Papua Mountains.

"This condition is able to increase the potential for rain cloud growth around tropical cyclones or cyclonic circulation and along these convergence or convergence areas," he said.

He said the combination of atmospheric dynamics caused significant weather potential in several parts of Indonesia.

According to him, it is necessary to increase preparedness for the potential for heavy to very heavy rain in Aceh, North Sumatra, South Sumatra, Bangka Belitung Islands (Babel), Bengkulu, Lampung, Banten, West Java, Central Java.

Then the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), East Java, Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, Maluku, Papua Mountains, Papua and South Papua.
