Moderate rainfall was projected for Bandung and Tanjung Selor, while light showers could affect Medan, Pekanbaru, Tanjung Pinang, Serang, Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, and Samarinda.
The western part of the archipelago, including Banda Aceh, Jambi, Pangkal Pinang, and Pontianak, is expected to experience dense overcast, with Palembang facing hazy conditions.
In the eastern regions, Makassar and Mamuju may encounter moderate rain, whereas Denpasar, Mataram, Kendari, Palu, Gorontalo, Manokwari, Nabire, Jayawijaya, and Merauke could see light precipitation.
High cloud cover or thick clouds are forecasted for Kupang, Manado, Ternate, Ambon, and Jayapura; Sorong may experience smoke or fog due to forest‑fire activity.
BMKG reminded the public that forecasts are subject to change and urged continuous monitoring through the official website, mobile application, and Info BMKG social‑media channels.
Authorities in Jakarta have already deployed traffic‑management teams to clear potential water‑logged roads and advise commuters to seek alternative routes during peak hours.
