JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that the weather conditions in a number of major cities in Indonesia on Thursday, July 16 will be dominated by sunny to cloudy to cloudy weather.
The areas that are expected to experience sunny cloudy, cloudy, to thick clouds include Banda Aceh, Jambi, Bengkulu, Palembang, Pangkal Pinang, Bandar Lampung, Serang, Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Palangka Raya, and Samarinda.
"Meanwhile, in the eastern part of Indonesia, similar conditions are expected to occur in Denpasar, Mataram, Kupang, Makassar, Kendari, Gorontalo, Manado, Ternate, Ambon, Sorong, Jayapura, and Jayawijaya," said BMKG Ranika Dwi A Prakirawan, quoted by Antara, Thursday morning.
BMKG explained that the current atmospheric dynamics were influenced by the formation of wind deceleration areas (convergence) in a number of areas, including from the west coast of Malaysia to the Malacca Strait, the Andaman Sea, West Kalimantan to the Natuna Sea, South Kalimantan to Central Kalimantan.
In addition, wind convergence areas were observed in the northern Malacca Strait, the Andaman Sea, the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea, the Philippine Sea, to the north Pacific Ocean of Halmahera Island to northern Papua.
This condition has the potential to increase the growth of rain clouds along the area it passes.
BMKG reminds the public to be aware of the potential for light rain in Medan, Tanjung Pinang, Pontianak, Tanjung Selor, Banjarmasin, Mamuju, Palu, Manokwari, and Nabire.
In addition, the potential for hazy air is predicted to occur in Pekanbaru and Merauke, while the potential for smog appears in Padang.
BMKG urges the public to continue to monitor the latest weather information through the official BMKG channel to anticipate potential changes in weather conditions in their respective regions.
