The extreme weather in some regions of Indonesia during the period from December 31, 2023, to January 6, 2024, is triggered by atmospheric dynamics, namely the activity of the Asian Winter Monsoon associated with the westerly winds. This phenomenon is further strengthened by the activity of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).

The community should always keep track of weather developments, considering that weather conditions are very dynamic and can change quickly. Especially for travelers and tourists who are on vacation in areas vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather, it is important to always be cautious and prioritize safety.

"Check the weather forecast before traveling and ensure the vehicle is in prime condition. Always be cautious while driving, especially during heavy rain and strong winds," added Dwikorita Karnawati. Source: BMKG.
