JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that the weather in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) regions on Wednesday, August 5, will be dominated by cloudy to cloudy conditions with air temperatures ranging from 22 to 34 degrees Celsius.

The relatively stable weather conditions are expected to support community activities in the middle of the week, although an increase in cloud cover is still potentially occurring in the afternoon and evening in some areas during the dry season.

In the DKI Jakarta area, the weather is predicted to be sunny to cloudy from morning to afternoon. Entering the afternoon and evening, most of the area is predicted to be cloudy with a relatively low chance of rain. The air temperature ranges from 25 to 34 degrees Celsius with a humidity level of 45-85 percent.

South Jakarta and East Jakarta are expected to be the areas with the highest temperature reaching 34 degrees Celsius, while Central Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta, and the Thousand Islands are in the range of 25-33 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, the Bogor area is predicted to experience sunny weather with cloudy temperatures between 22 to 31 degrees Celsius. The Puncak, Cisarua, and South Bogor Regency areas remain the region with the coldest temperature in Jabodetabek, especially in the morning and evening. An increase in cloud cover is expected in the afternoon, but the potential for rain is only local and light.

In Depok City, the weather is predicted to be sunny with a temperature ranging from 24 to 33 degrees Celsius. Similar conditions are also expected in Tangerang with a temperature of 24 to 33 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, Bekasi is expected to be one of the hottest areas in Jabodetabek with a maximum temperature of 34 degrees Celsius during the day.

The weather, which tends to be sunny, is expected to support community activities, but residents are urged to limit activities under direct sunlight for a long time, especially from 11.00 to 15.00 WIB.

BMKG urges the public to maintain body fluid adequacy while carrying out activities outdoors, using protection from sun exposure such as hats, umbrellas, or sunscreen, and not burning waste or land because the dry weather conditions during the dry season can increase the risk of fire. The public is also advised to continue to monitor the latest weather information through the official BMKG channel.

In general, the weather in Jabodetabek on Wednesday is expected to be conducive for office activities, travel, and outdoor activities.

Even though the chance of rain is relatively small, the public is still urged to update weather forecast information before carrying out activities as a step to anticipate changes in weather conditions that can occur at any time.
