Warm air expected to push temperatures in Indonesia to 36°C on November 9

Warm air and strong sunshine to raise temperatures

From November 9 to November 10, warm air and strong sunshine are expected to combine to raise temperatures in Indonesia. Warm air of +18°C or higher is spreading widely from the Indian Ocean at around 1,500 m aloft, continuing to warm areas near the surface. Cloud cover is also expected to be limited, adding to the effects of sunshine. The heat is expected to peak on November 9.

Outlook for major cities

Warm air and strong sunshine are expected to persist during this period. Surabaya is forecast to reach 36°C from November 9 to November 10, with humidity of 48% to 54%. By November 11, temperatures there are expected to drop to 34°C as clouds spread and sunshine weakens. Denpasar is forecast to reach 33–34°C and Jakarta 32–33°C; neither is expected to reach 35°C.

Try to limit outdoor activities during the day as much as possible. Take precautions against the heat, including drinking water regularly and keeping indoor spaces well ventilated.
