BMKG: Jakarta on Alert for Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Today, Friday, 27 February 2026
The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) issued an early warning regarding extreme weather conditions predicted to affect the Jakarta metropolitan area today, Friday, 27 February 2026. The public is urged to increase vigilance against the potential for moderate to heavy rain, which may be accompanied by lightning and strong winds.
Based on the latest data, almost all administrative areas of Jakarta are in the ‘Alert’ category. This condition is triggered by strengthening convective activity, especially during the afternoon. In addition, surrounding areas such as Bogor are also predicted to experience heavy rain, which could increase the water flow of rivers towards Jakarta.
The increase in rainfall at the end of February 2026 is caused by atmospheric dynamics that support the significant growth of rain clouds in the western part of Java. Surface warming that occurs in the morning triggers the formation of thick convective clouds (Cumulonimbus) during the day, which often bring strong winds and lightning.
BMKG specifically advises the areas of South Jakarta and East Jakarta to be aware of the potential for flooding and fallen trees. Drivers are also advised to be careful of limited visibility when heavy rain occurs.
