The increase also coincided with heavy rains that flushed almost evenly in the Bogor area.
Light to moderate rain has occurred since noon in the Bogor City area. Heavy rain around 17.30 to 19.00 WIB. Currently, light rain accompanied by lightning still flushes the area of Bogor City.
This condition is in line with the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency’s (BMKG) weather forecast on Wednesday night that heavy rain accompanied by lightning has the potential to flush the Bogor Regency and City areas.
Until tonight, the peak area and its surroundings are still being showered with moderate intensity rain. The water discharge from Bogor to Jakarta is estimated in the early morning or early morning.
According to Andi, the possibility of the TMA declining again could happen sooner or later depending on the rain that occurred in Puncak, Cisarua, Bogor Regency.
With moderate intensity rains still flushing the Puncak area, Jakarta’s flood alert could increase to Alert 2 to Alert 1.
“Jakarta residents should be vigilant. The rain is still continuing in the Ciliwung upstream in the Puncak Bogor area,” he said.
