MAKASSAR - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) Region IV Makassar predicts that the dry season with hot weather phenomena ranging from 33-35 degrees Celsius will last until mid-October 2023.

"For the Makassar area and its surroundings, the hot temperature is still in the range of 33 to 35 degrees Celsius during the day," said BMKG forecaster Region IV Makassar Amhar Ulfiana as reported by ANTARA, Monday, October 2.

"For the next few days, we estimate a maximum of up to 35 degrees Celsius, because as long as we have observed, since the dry season lasted until today, no one has reached 39 degrees Celsius," he said.

Previously, BMKG Deputy for Meteorology Guswanto, through a press release, on Saturday (30/9) explained that the cause of the phenomenon of hot hot temperatures in Indonesia has recently been triggered by a number of atmospheric dynamics.

In the midst of sunny weather, cloud growth is very minimal, especially during the day. This condition causes sunlight to the surface of the earth not to experience significant obstacles, so the temperature outside the room feels very hot.

"Currently most parts of Indonesia, especially in the south of the equator, are still experiencing the dry season, and some will begin to enter the season transition period in the October-November 2023 period. So, sunny weather conditions still dominate quite during the day," he said.

Untuk posisi semu matahari pada akhir September bergerak ke arah Selatan ekuator. Itu berarti sebagian Indonesia mengalami perundaraan sinyara matahari optimal. Faktor-factor lain seperti kecepatan angin, tutupanwan, dan tingkat kerugian udara juga mendorong kondisi suhu panas.

The condition of this hot hot phenomenon is predicted to continue in this October period, considering that sunny weather conditions still dominate enough during the day.

"We urge the public to always maintain the condition of body stamina and adequate body fluids, especially for residents who are active outdoors during the day so that dehydration, fatigue and other bad effects do not occur," said Guswanto.
