JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) issued an early warning forecast for heavy rain accompanied by lightning and strong winds that could potentially occur in several parts of Indonesia, on Friday, April 29.

In information quoted from the BMKG website on Friday, the potential for heavy rain accompanied by lightning and strong winds was warned for the provinces of Aceh, Bangka Belitung, Bengkulu, Jambi, Riau, South Sumatra, Lampung, Banten, DKI Jakarta, West Java, East Java, Bali. .

According to BMKG, Tropical Cyclone 98S seedlings were observed in the Indian Ocean south of Central Java with a maximum wind speed of 30 knots and a minimum air pressure of 1002 mb.

This system is moving eastward and has the potential to increase in intensity to become a tropical cyclone.

According to BMKG, the potential for 98S seedlings to grow into tropical cyclones in the next 24 hours is in the High category. This system induces an increase in wind speed of more than 25 knots (low level jet) in the Indian Ocean south of Central Java.

This system also forms an area of convergence/deceleration of wind speed (convergence) which is observed extending in the Indian Ocean south of East Java-West Java. 1005 mb. This system moves in a west-northwest direction.

The potential for 98W seedlings to grow into tropical cyclones in the next 24 hours is in the low category. This system also forms a meeting area/deceleration of wind speed which is observed extending in the waters north of Kalimantan.

According to BMKG, these conditions can increase the potential for rain cloud growth, wind speed, and sea wave heights around the tropical cyclone spawn area and along the low level jet/convergence area. This was reported by Antara.
