Air pressure, not temperature

A The Jakarta Post' article on Feb. 18, page 3, "Monsoon forecast to end next month," refers to an interview with Sri Diharto (director general of the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, MGA).

In column 5, line 14, it states: "When a La Nina occurs, the temperature in Darwin can be lower than the temperature in Tahiti." This was not discussed and is not correct.

What was discussed is as follows: "When a La Nina occurs, the air pressure in Darwin can be lower than the air pressure in Tahiti."

Thank you for printing this correction.
