Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) on Tuesday announced that more heavy rains would affect most parts of greater Jakarta for the next three days.
Chief of the BMKG extreme weather division, Kukuh Ribudiyanto, said the rains would fall with equal intensity across the city, not only in traditionally wet areas such as Bogor, West Java, to the south of Jakarta.
“The rains could happen anywhere in the city and we cannot forecast yet whether [the downpour] will happen in the morning, afternoon or evening,” Kukuh said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
However, Kukuh said his agency had forecast the exceptionally rainy days to last only three days.
A wet forecast has also been given for South Sumatra, Jambi, Bengkulu, Banten, southern West Java, northern and eastern Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Nusa Tenggara, western and southern West Kalimantan, southern Central Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi.
The high precipitation is a result of the presence of low pressure areas in northern Australia, coupled with winds from southern Sumatra to East Nusa Tenggara, and from the Banda Sea to central Papua.
