Jakarta. Meteorological authorities have raised the red flag for natural disasters in the country following recent extreme weather events.
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said on Monday that most parts of the country were currently experiencing torrential rains, strong winds, high waves and flooding.
Though heavy rains are common at this time of year, “everything is stronger than normal,” said Sri Woro Harijono, the BMKG chairwoman.
“The sea temperature is one degree Celsius higher than it should be, and this is causing high waves,” she said following a meeting that included officials from the home affairs and environment ministries and the National Council on Climate Change.
