JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warns of the potential for rain in a number of regions of Indonesia on Tuesday, July 21 due to the influence of the cyclonic circulation observed in the northern Pacific Ocean of Papua.
BMKG Praktirawan Yuyun said that the cyclonic circulation formed a convergence and confluence area that strengthened the atmospheric dynamics so as to increase the chances of rain clouds forming in various regions.
"This combination of atmospheric dynamics increases the potential for the growth of rain clouds along the cyclonic, convergent, and confluence circulation areas," said Yuyun, quoted from Antara, Tuesday morning.
BMKG noted that the convergence area extends from Jambi to Riau, Central Kalimantan to West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan to North Kalimantan, Flores Sea, North Maluku, and Arafuru Sea.
Meanwhile, the confluence areas are identified in the waters west to north of Aceh, the waters south of Central Java to west of Bengkulu, the South China Sea, the Sulawesi Sea, and the Halmahera Sea.
For western Indonesia, moderate intensity rain is predicted to occur in Palembang and Tanjung Selor. Meanwhile, light rain has the potential to rain on Medan, Padang, Tanjung Pinang, Bandar Lampung, Jakarta, Bandung, Palangkaraya, Samarinda, and Banjarmasin.
In the eastern part of Indonesia, BMKG predicts that moderate rain is potentially occurring in Bima and Mamuju. Meanwhile, light rain is predicted to rain on Manado and Jayawijaya.
BMKG urges the public and local governments to increase vigilance against the potential for moderate to heavy rain that can trigger disruptions in activities and hydrometeorological disasters, such as floods, landslides, and puddles in vulnerable areas.
