La Nina Is Coming; BMKG Warns of Extreme Weather

The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) issued an early warning for the arrival of La Nina ahead of the year’s end. Last year, the weather phenomenon increased the country’s monthly precipitation rate in November-December-January to 70 percent of the normal rate.

We must immediately prepare to welcome the 2021-2022 La Nina, which is predicted to come in weak to moderate intensity at least until February,” said BMKG head Dwikorita Karnawati in a press release on Monday, October 18.

She called on local governments, communities, and all related parties to immediately be prepared to prevent and mitigate potential hydrometeorological disasters such as floods, landslides, flash floods, strong winds, and cyclones or tropical storms.
