TANGERANG - Residents of Pamulang and Ciputat, South Tangerang were shocked by the hail event.
Head of BMKG's Weather Prediction and Early Warning Division, Miming Saepudin, said the hail phenomenon occurs because of the convective pattern in the atmosphere on a significant local-regional scale. This hail can form from a Cumulonimbus type of convective cloud system.
"So this extreme weather is in the form of heavy rain which can be accompanied by lightning or lightning or strong winds and even cause hail phenomena," Miming said when confirmed, Monday, March 14.
When the bad weather occurs, rain falls in large sizes that form at the top of the Cumulonimbus cloud and then descends to the cloud base to the cloud and becomes a phenomenon.
"The descending air causes ice grains with a fairly large size that are formed at the top of the Cumulonimbus cloud to descend to the cloud base until it comes out of the cloud and becomes a rain phenomenon," he said.
Therefore, BMKG appeals to be more vigilant in March-April 2022. Because there will be the potential for extreme weather in the form of tornadoes to hail accompanied by lightning or lightning.
"The public must remain alert to the possibility of the potential for extreme weather and the impacts that can be caused in the form of hydrometeorological disasters such as floods, landslides, flash floods, puddles, slippery roads, fallen trees," he said.
