The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG)\nhas released weather forecasts for the coming week. The public is urged\nto increase caution against potential severe weather across various\nregions of Indonesia. These conditions represent a continuation of\nextreme to very heavy rainfall recorded during 23-26 February 2026.<\/p>\n
BMKG recorded extreme rainfall in Bali reaching 216.9 millimetres per\nday. Additionally, very heavy rainfall was also detected in South\nSulawesi at 146.5 millimetres per day. Meanwhile, in other regions,\nlight to moderate rainfall continues to dominate with varying\nintensities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe increase in rainfall intensity is influenced by atmospheric\ndynamics supporting the development of rain clouds in various regions,\u201d\nBMKG stated in an official statement on Saturday (28 February).<\/p>\n
The meeting of monsoon winds from the north with westerly winds from\nthe Indian Ocean in Indonesia\u2019s southern regions has also contributed to\nthese conditions. Activity of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) in\nphase 3 over the Indian Ocean has also been monitored as active in most\nIndonesian regions, particularly from the central to southern areas.<\/p>\n
BMKG forecasts that atmospheric phenomena on global, regional and\nlocal scales will continue to have significant impacts on weather\nconditions in Indonesia in the coming days. On a global scale,\nweak-category La Ni\u00f1a remains detected through Southern Oscillation\nIndex (SOI) and Ni\u00f1o 3.4 values with potential to increase rain cloud\nformation, particularly in eastern Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Additionally, MJO activity is predicted to continue affecting\nIndonesian atmospheric conditions and is expected to remain in phases 3\nto 4 (Maritime Continent). The combination of MJO, equatorial Rossby\nwaves, Kelvin waves and low-frequency waves are forecast to be active in\nvarious regions, ranging from the Indian Ocean south-west of Lampung to\nsouth of East Nusa Tenggara, Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, parts of\nKalimantan, the Sulawesi Sea, most of Sulawesi, North Maluku, Maluku and\nPapua.<\/p>\n
Cyclonic circulation has also been detected in the Indian Ocean\nsouth-west of Lampung and the Pacific Ocean north-east of Papua New\nGuinea forming convergence and confluence zones. These conditions can\nsupport rain cloud development around these regions.<\/p>\n
For the period 27 February to 1 March 2026, weather across Indonesia\nis generally dominated by light to moderate rainfall. However, increased\nrainfall with moderate to heavy intensity is forecast in several\nregions, including Aceh, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bangka Belitung Islands,\nBengkulu, Lampung, DKI Jakarta, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan,\nEast Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Central\nSulawesi, West Sulawesi, South-East Sulawesi, North Maluku and Papua\nregions.<\/p>\n
BMKG has also declared heavy to very heavy rainfall alert status in\nBanten, West Java, Central Java, Special Region of Yogyakarta, East\nJava, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and\nMaluku. Additionally, strong winds are forecast to occur in Banten, DKI\nJakarta, West Java, East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa\nTenggara, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, South-East Sulawesi, Maluku,\nNorth Maluku and Papua.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, for the period 2-5 March 2026, light to moderate rainfall\nis expected to continue dominating most Indonesian regions. Increased\nrainfall with moderate to heavy intensity is forecast in Aceh, North\nSumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung,\nBanten, DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Special Region of\nYogyakarta, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, West Kalimantan, Central\nKalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, North\nSulawesi, Central Sulawesi, South-East Sulawesi, North Maluku, Maluku\nand Papua regions.<\/p>\n
BMKG urges the public and stakeholders to increase vigilance against\npotential hydrometeorological disasters resulting from extreme weather,\nsuch as heavy rainfall accompanied by lightning or thunder and strong\nwinds.<\/p>\n
Weather conditions that can change at any time are expected to\nreceive attention in activity planning, particularly land, sea and air\ntravel, and various outdoor activities.
