SEMARANG - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) appealed to the public to be aware of extreme weather that could potentially occur in a number of areas of Central Java, including southern Central Java and the central mountains of Central Java on May 19-21.

"In the weather forecast released by the Central Java BMKG on Thursday (19/5) it is stated that based on the analysis of atmospheric dynamics, there is a cyclonic circulation in the western waters of West Kalimantan which forms a meeting area or slowing of wind speed (convergence) which extends from Central Kalimantan to Kalimantan.
