TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Torrential rains that have lashed Jakarta and its neighbors since Thursday, January 22, 2026, have triggered flooding across various sectors of the capital. The Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reported that 90 neighborhood units (RT) and nine road segments remain submerged as of Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 6:00 a.m.
"The BPBD has recorded that 90 RTs and nine road segments are currently flooded," stated Mohamad Yohan, Head of the Data and Information Center for Disaster Management at BPBD Jakarta, in a written release on Saturday.
Floodwaters across Jakarta show varying depths. In West Jakarta, inundation has affected 51 RTs spanning 11 administrative villages, including Duri Kosambi, Kapuk, Kedaung Kali Angke, Rawa Buaya, Jelambar, South Kedoya, Kedoya Utara, Joglo, Kembangan Selatan, Kembangan Utara, and Meruya Selatan.
The main causes of the floods are intense rainfall coupled with the overflow of the Angke, Ciliwung, and Pesanggrahan rivers, leaving areas like Rawa Buaya and Duri Kosambi under 120 cm of water.
In South Jakarta, seven RTs have been hit, particularly in the neighborhoods of Rawajati, Pejaten Timur, and Kebon Baru. Water levels there fluctuate between 25 cm and 210 cm due to heavy rain and the Ciliwung River breaching its banks, with three RTs in East Pejaten submerged under more than two meters of water.
Meanwhile, East Jakarta reports 25 flooded RTs, with the most critical points located in Cawang and Cililitan, where depths range from 80 cm to 250 cm. In the Bidara Cina and Kampung Melayu areas, floodwaters have stabilized between 150 cm and 190 cm.
In North Jakarta, seven RTs in the Kapuk Muara neighborhood are inundated with 40 to 75 centimeters of water, while Central Jakarta has reported no flooded areas.
The nine road segments currently affected by flooding are as follows:
Jl. Daan Mogot KM 13 (opposite Victoria / Glass Factory), Cengkareng Timur, West Jakarta. Water level: 20 cm.
Jl. Gotong Royong RT.06 RW 08, Kapuk, West Jakarta. Water level: 20 cm.

The Jakarta BPBD has dispatched personnel to monitor conditions in each affected area, and the public is urged to remain vigilant regarding further potential inundation.
