Rains in the city only a transition

JAKARTA (JP): An official from the national weather bureau
says that the downpours that have fallen on Jakarta during past
few days were only the results of a transition phase from the dry
season to the rainy season.

Paulus Agus Winarso, from Meteorology Forecasts and Services
at the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, said on Saturday that
the phenomenon was normal.

"For Jakarta and its surrounding areas the rainy season will
start about October," Paulus said.

According to him, the dry season began late by approximately
one month this year but the rainy season will begin at its
regular time.

In Jakarta and surrounding areas this year's dry season
started in April, he said. (01)
