How to monitor Jakarta floods in real time on your mobile phone
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Heavy rainfall that drenched Jakarta and its surroundings from Saturday night (7 March 2026) to Sunday (8 March 2026) has caused several roads to flood.
This situation poses a challenge for car and motorcycle riders who must continue with their activities amid extreme weather.
Puddles on the road not only cause congestion but also risk damaging vehicles. For motorcycles, it can cause the engine to stall, while for cars there is a risk of water hammer if water enters the engine bay.
Therefore, riders need to be more careful in planning their journeys to avoid being caught in floods. One way to do this is to monitor flood conditions in real time via a mobile phone.
