The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that West Sumatra had the highest rainfall in 2020, reaching 4,730.7 millimeters (mm) with 251 rainy days.

Maluku was second with 4,494 mm of rainfall and 262 rainy days in 2020. West Java followed with 4,309.7 mm of rainfall and 244 rainy days throughout the year.

Rainfall in Bengkulu reached 4,272.5 mm with 236 rainy days in 2020. Meanwhile, rainfall in East Kalimantan amounted to 4,071.6 mm with 247 rainy days.

The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warns of the potential for high rainfall in several areas over the next 10 days. Parts of West Sumatra have experienced the rainy season since the first ten-day period (1-10) of September 2021.

The BMKG also urges regions with high and medium rainfall categories to be aware of the potential for flooding. Several areas in West Sumatra fall into the medium category in the third ten-day period (21-30) of September 2021, including South Solok, South Pesisir, and the Mentawai Islands.
