BADUNG- The weather on the island of Bali is quite hot and stifling in the last few days. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) noted that the weather temperature in Bali was quite hot and reached 30-34 degrees Celsius.

"Based on data, the maximum air temperature generally occurs at noon or noon in Bali in the last five days, which is in the range of 30 (to) 34 Celsius," said forecaster for BBMKG Region III Denpasar, Kadek Setiya Wati in a written statement, Friday, October 22.

The BMKG explained that in October, the sun's apparent annual position was in the Southern Hemisphere (BBS). As a result, areas located south of the equator will get a high intensity of solar radiation, and consequently, the air temperature will increase.

Meteorological hot conditions are caused by hot air temperatures accompanied by high humidity. High humidity indicates the amount of water vapor contained in the air.

"The more water vapor contained in the air, the more humid the air will be, and if the temperature increases due to direct solar heating, the atmosphere will be hotter," said Setiya Wati.

Meanwhile, urban areas, especially in big cities, generally have hotter air temperatures than non-urban areas. Meanwhile, air humidity records show that most areas of Bali are in the range of 58 percent and 94 percent, which includes high humidity.

For the hot air phenomenon, it is actually a normal phenomenon. Based on historical data from October to November, the average maximum air temperature in Bali is generally in the range of 31 to 33 Celsius.

"Hot hot air is also more pronounced when it rains because moist air releases heat energy which increases the heat of the air due to surface heating by solar radiation," said Setiya Wati.

The BMKG appealed to the public to maintain health and stamina so that dehydration and skin irritation do not occur.

"Drinking lots and eating fresh fruit is highly recommended, including wearing sunscreen so that you are not exposed to excessive sunlight directly," said Setiya Wati.

Meanwhile, Nonik, a resident of Tanjung Benoa, South Kuta District, Badung, Bali, admitted that the weather in Bali has been hot lately.

"It was really hot, at night too, luckily it rained last night. Yes, when it's hot, I drink a lot of cold water," said Nonik.
