According to the head of the BMKG, this year there will be a surplus of water, although this will be relatively few in eastern parts of the country.
By unpredictable changes in the seawater temperature in the Indian Ocean and a relatively cold Pacific Ocean from March to May this year, eastern Indonesia is relatively dry. It is expected that La Nina in the Pacific will hold until June of this year, so the dry season will begin on time.
The areas that started with the dry season are Aceh and other parts of northern Sumatra. This year, the dry season is expected to hold only a few months in many parts of Indonesia. Only in the areas to the east of Sulawesi have a possible dry season from April to October.
