Warm air to push temperatures in Indonesia to 37°C on November 16

Warm air and strong solar radiation to raise temperatures

From November 16 to 18, temperatures in Indonesia are expected to rise as warm air coincides with strong solar radiation. Warm air of +18°C or higher is spreading widely from the Indian Ocean at an altitude of around 1,500 m, continuing to warm areas near the surface. There are few clouds, and solar radiation is also contributing to the rise. Temperatures are expected to peak on November 16.

Outlook for major cities

Warm air and strong solar radiation are expected to persist during this period. In Surabaya, temperatures are forecast to reach 37°C from November 16 to 18, with humidity ranging from 45% to 58%. Denpasar is forecast to reach 35°C on November 16, with humidity high at 68%, making conditions feel muggy. By contrast, Jakarta is expected to see temperatures of 32–34°C, below 35°C.

Limit outdoor activities during the day as much as possible. Drink water regularly and take steps to cope with the heat, such as keeping indoor spaces well ventilated.
