TEMPO.CO, Bandung - The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that moderate rain will often fall in most of West Java in the second decade of this month, precisely on February 11 to 20, 2025. There are 81 percent of the total area in West Java whose rain intensity ranges from 50-150 millimeters per decade.
According to the forecast of the West Java BMKG Climatology Station, the areas with medium rain include parts of Bogor Regency, Sukabumi Regency and City, and Cianjur. This forecast is also for the Greater Bandung area which includes Bandung City and Regency, Cimahi City, and West Bandung Regency.
Other areas with the potential for medium rain in West Java are Depok City, Bekasi City and Regency, Karawang, parts of Subang, Purwakarta, Sumedang, Indramayu, Cirebon City and Regency. Parts of Kuningan and Ciamis, Banjar City, Pangandaran, Tasikmalaya Regency, and most of Garut Regency.
Meanwhile, 18 percent of areas in West Java are predicted to receive high category rain with an intensity of 150-300 millimeters per decade. The area includes the city of Bogor and its surroundings, part of Purwakarta, South Subang, Sumedang, Majalengka, part of Kuningan and Ciamis, Tasikmalaya City, to Garut.
There is also a small part, only one percent, of the area in West Java that will experience low rainfall in the second decade of February 2025, namely in the southern region of Cianjur. The rainfall intensity is only around 0-50 millimeters.
Referring to the BMKG review, there are several factors that influence the increase in the supply of water vapor mass that triggers convective clouds in West Java.
