PALEMBANG - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency estimates that the air temperature in parts of South Sumatra will increase to 33 degrees Celsius due to changes in wind patterns in the last few days.

Head of BMKG Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Palembang Station Desindra Deddy Kurniawan in Palembang, Sunday, said that temperature increases are expected in Palembang City, Banyuasin Regency, Musi Banyuasin, Ogan Ilir and Ogan Komering Ilir around 24 - 33 degrees Celsius, on Sunday, January 30, until early February 2022.

In the South Sumatra region, it has been observed that for some time there is a divergent wind pattern (the distribution of air masses) so that water vapor spreads, thereby inhibiting the growth of rain clouds.

In addition, the increase in air temperature is also influenced by atmospheric activity which is observed to be inactive so that it affects the lack of water vapor availability to form rain clouds.

Because the potential for rain for this time decreases, the air temperature also increases.

The maximum air temperature at the Palembang SMB II Meteorological Station on Saturday, January 29 reached 33 degrees Celsius.

However, in the South Sumatra region there is still the potential for light to heavy rainfall, but local or uneven, which is predicted to increase the potential for rain in the South Sumatra region from January 30 to early February 2022.
