TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has released a 24-hour cumulative rainfall forecast for Greater Jakarta this week from November 25 to December 1, 2025. Based on BMKG’s weather forecast, Jakarta expects moderate to heavy rainfall during election day tomorrow, Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
Weather forecasts for November 26, 2024, until tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. signal rainfall potential in Central and West Jakarta, while heavier rain is expected to pour over South Jakarta, East Jakarta, and North Jakarta.
Meanwhile, on election day, BMKG predicts moderate rain in Central Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta, and the Thousand Islands. Heavy rain is likely to hit South Jakarta and East Jakarta.
Despite the expected rain, BMKG did not forecast extreme rainfall during tomorrow’s simultaneous regional election.
The Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) said hundreds of polling stations in the region are located in flood-prone areas.
“As many as 572 polling stations are located in potential flood-prone areas,” said the head of KPU Jakarta’s Data and Information Division, Fahmi Zikrillah, to the media on Monday, November 25, 2024.
The KPU Jakarta, working with the Jakarta Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), has prepared mitigation measures for polling stations at risk of flooding.
Jakarta KPU Commissioner Astri Megatari has urged the polling station committees, or PPS, and BPBD, to find higher and safer locations to establish polling stations. The voting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
“So the voting process is unhindered by flooding,” she told the media crew.
In addition to preparing alternative locations, KPU hopes BPBD can assist with providing rubber boats to help voters reach the polling stations.
