A number of areas, including
Jabodetabek
, still often washed down
Rain
With heavy intensity in recent times, even though it has entered August which is supposed to be the dry season.So, why is it still raining?
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that rain will continue to fall in a number of areas during the dry season.
Head of BMKG Dwikorita Karnawati said the results of the prediction of monthly rainfall showed the anomalies of rainfall that had occurred since May 2025 will continue, with the above rainfall conditions occur in most of Indonesia until October 2025.
“The weakening of Australian monsoon associated with the dry season also causes sea level temperatures in southern Indonesia to remain warm and this contributes to the occurrence of rainfall anomalies,” Dwikorita said at an online press conference in early July.
Then, the active wave of Kelvin monitored crossed the north coast of Java, accompanied by a slowdown and wind turn in western and southern Java also triggered a buildup of air masses.
In addition, wind convergence and local atmospheric lability are also observed to accelerate the growth of rain clouds.
Based on the global climate, BMKG and several world climate centers predict ENSO (sea level temperature in the Pacific Ocean) and IOD (sea level temperature in the Indian Ocean) will remain in the neutral phase in the second semester of 2025.
That is, it can be ascertained that some parts of Indonesia will experience rainfall above normal than what should have occurred in the dry season or also called wet drought.
Deputy of the Ardhasena Sopaheluwakan Climatology Division confirmed the current weather conditions were still in accordance with the forecasts issued by BMKG last July.
“That’s right, it is still in accordance with predictions,” he told shesocialIndonesia.com, Monday (4/8).
Expert Climatology of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Erma Yulihastin in July also predicts that rainfall will continue to be high until August.According to him, rainfall in August will even be higher than July.
“Later August is twice the current rain. It will occur in the third dasarian. The third dasarian means the 21st to the end of August,” he said in a upload on social media X, Monday (7/7).
According to him, bad weather in the August period is likely to be more evenly distributed.He said Vortex would be closer to the territory of Indonesia and cause an increase in intensity twice as now.
“Therefore the government to prepare and mitigate floods expand in Jabodetabek, which has the potential to cause a loss of Rp2-10 trillion in the event of a flood for a week. The community to be vigilant, especially those who live around the watershed,” he said.
