BMKG asks the public to be aware of extreme weather conditions this week

VIVA – The Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) called on the public in various parts of Indonesia to remain vigilant in the face of extreme weather conditions next week, May 10-17, 2021.

BMKG MEP for Meteorology Guswanto said the results of the analysis of ocean-atmosphere dynamics showed that there was Madden-Julian Oscillation Phenomenon (MJO) activity in Indonesian territory which has has been observed with the active activity of other equatorial wave phenomena such as Kelvin and Rossby Ekuatorial waves.

At present, he said, patterns of cyclonic circulation have been observed over Indonesian territory, namely in the Sulu Sea and West Papua, which could form an encounter and slow down the wind speed. .

“Still unstable local weather conditions may also increase the potential for strong convection which results in more intensive rain cloud formation in several parts of Indonesia,” Guswanto said in Jakarta on Monday, May 10, 2021.

These conditions can lead to the potential for heavy rains.
