        "summary": "Indonesia's Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) has attributed the recent heat wave affecting Jakarta to reduced cloud cover, allowing solar radiation to reach the surface more efficiently. The phenomenon is typical during seasonal transitions and is intensified by the urban heat island effect, whereby cities retain heat longer than surrounding areas. BMKG advises that such daytime heat conditions are likely to persist in the coming weeks when cloud cover decreases.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 The Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency\n(BMKG) has revealed the cause of high temperatures affecting Jakarta and\nits surroundings over recent days.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Deputy for Meteorology at BMKG, Dr Andri Ramdhani, explained\nthat the temperature increase is driven by reduced cloud cover.\n\u201cMeteorologically, this condition is influenced by relatively diminished\ncloud cover, allowing solar radiation to be received by the surface more\noptimally,\u201d he said when contacted by Kompas.com on Sunday (15 March\n2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, such conditions are common during seasonal\ntransitions. \u201cWhen skies tend to be clearer during daytime, surface\nheating becomes more intense,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Andri also revealed that the heat effect is felt more intensely due\nto the urban heat island phenomenon, as seen in Jakarta. This phenomenon\nrepresents the tendency of urban areas to retain heat longer compared to\nsurrounding regions.<\/p>\n<p>He added that hot conditions during the day still have the potential\nto occur in the coming weeks, particularly when cloud cover\ndiminishes.<\/p>",
