The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded 1,732 extreme weather events in Indonesia from the beginning of the year until March 17, 2025. "These extreme weather events have the potential to cause hydrometeorological disasters such as floods and landslides, impacting various sectors of life," BMKG wrote on its official Instagram account on Monday (March 24, 2025).

Heavy rain was the most frequent type of extreme weather, accounting for 1,216 events. This was followed by strong winds (403 events), lightning (56 events), tornadoes (46 events), and hail (11 events).

Furthermore, BMKG predicts that several regions in Indonesia will gradually enter the dry season in April, May, and June 2025. The peak of the dry season is projected to occur in June, July, and August 2025. "This needs to be anticipated, especially in areas prone to drought, water crises, and forest and land fires," BMKG wrote.

BMKG urges the public to adapt to extreme weather and future climate change. This can be done through wise management of water, energy, and food.
