KUPANG - El Tari Kupang Meteorological Station, Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has appealed to residents to be aware of strong winds that hit three islands in East Nusa Tenggara on September 6-8.

"Strong winds of 45-50 km/hour have the potential to hit Timor Island, Rote Island and Sabu Island," said the head of the BMKG El Tari Kupang Meteorological Station Agung Sudiono Abadi in Kupang, as reported by Antara, Monday, September 6.

This strong wind phenomenon, he said, needs to be watched out for because it can have an impact on forest and land fires in the affected areas. In addition, strong winds can also cause trees and billboards to fall, poles and so on which can endanger residents or motorists on the streets.

"Because of this, residents in areas affected by the potential for strong winds need to increase their vigilance so that unwanted things don't happen," he said.
