The community is shocked by the potential for stormy weather that will occur in Greater Jakarta today, December 28, 2022. In preparing for potential storms, the public can monitor the potential for storms in Jabodetabek through SADEWA BRIN.
Information about potential storms was revealed by BRIN climatology researcher Erma Yulihastin via his personal Twitter account @EYulihastin on Monday (26/12/2022). Erma said that there would be extreme rains up to devastating storms in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) areas.

It is also said that the terrible storm from the sea will be transferred to land through two routes. First the west route through the westerly winds that bring rainstorms from the sea. Both from the north via strong surface winds.
“So Banten and Jakarta-Bekasi will be the central locations where the storm attacks start from noon to evening on December 28, 2022,” he continued.
