Viral! BMKG Juanda Content Creator Presents Weather Forecast News with the Style of a Khodam Forecaster

According to Indonesian spiritual culture, especially in the Java region, khodam refers to entities or supernatural beings believed to be the guardians or protectors of someone. The forms of khodam vary. Some take the form of humans, while others have the appearance of dragons, snakes, tigers, or even white tigers. In the viral khodam checking site, there is a picture of a princess from the palace believed to be the figure of the Queen of the Southern Beach, Nyai Roro Kidul. The background of the picture is a white tiger's head and a sitting Javanese tiger in front of the image of the Queen of the Southern Beach.

BMKG Contagious Khodam

Although this phenomenon is more of entertainment nature, it has been parodied by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) of East Java. Recently, BMKG Juanda's post, presenting weather forecasts in the style of a khodam fortune teller, went viral on social media.

Teased Boring

"Min, I'm bored, always bringing the same weather forecast," wrote BMKG imitating the complaints of netizens who feel bored with the uncreative style of reading weather forecast news. In the 23-second video, initially BMKG personnel read the weather forecast for districts and cities in East Java."

As usual, the officer reads the weather forecast in the usual style that we used to see on old television news programs. The weather forecast reader just sits behind a desk, with a background of an area experiencing weather changes.

However, suddenly there was criticism from netizens who called the weather forecast reader's style boring. For a moment, the weather forecast reader seemed to be slapped for being considered uncreative when reading the weather forecast news.

"Do not want to be labeled as boring by netizens, the BMKG officer immediately showed his creativity when reading the weather forecast."

Read Weather Forecast with Khodam-style Fortune Teller

However, this time he read the weather forecast in a different style. He read it using the style of a khodam fortune teller. To add a mystical aura from the khodam, the BMKG officer replaced the map of the affected areas with a picture of Nyai Roro Kidul. In addition, he also added a creepy sound background taken from the soundtrack of the Kuntilanak movie.

The BMKG officer then mentioned areas in East Java that have "khodam" or experience weather changes such as rain or cloudy heat. If the officer mentions the area as "empty", it means the weather is hot and cloudy. Meanwhile, if it is mentioned as "available", it means the area is experiencing rain. If the area is referred to as "eagle lightning", it means there is rain accompanied by thunder there. Furthermore, if the BMKG officer states that the area in question is experiencing "swaying wind", it means there is rain accompanied by strong winds.

The following is the data of the East Java region that has unique khodam according to the Juanda BMKG weather forecast. "Surabaya 'empty', Sidoarjo 'empty', Probolinggo 'available', Lumajang 'thunder eagle', Madiun 'empty', Pasuruan 'swaying wind'."
