Based on the early warning from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), it is predicted that there will be light to moderate rain with the potential to cause hydrometeorological impacts, such as puddles and flooding in a number of areas.
Head of Jakarta BPBD, Isnawa Adji, asked residents to prepare umbrellas or raincoats, as well as disaster preparedness bags as a precautionary measure.
