The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has forecasted cloudy weather and light rain throughout Jakarta today, Sunday (October 5). According to the agency’s official website, the morning will see cloudy skies across all regions, including the Thousand Islands, Central Jakarta, North Jakarta, West Jakarta, South Jakarta, and East Jakarta. This consistent pattern suggests a stable but humid atmosphere that may lead to scattered precipitation. The outlook emphasizes BMKG’s ongoing role in informing citizens about weather conditions that could affect daily activities.
By midday, the Thousand Islands and North Jakarta are expected to remain cloudy, while light rain is predicted for Central, West, South, and East Jakarta. This distribution pattern indicates uneven moisture buildup, which is typical of Jakarta’s transitional season. Meteorologists believe that such conditions highlight the importance of continuous climate monitoring amid the unpredictable nature of tropical systems. The agency also underlined that mild rainfall, although limited, could help reduce urban heat levels.
In the afternoon, cloud coverage is forecasted to persist across all areas of Jakarta, maintaining the day’s humid yet calm weather trend. The repetition of cloud dominance throughout the day reinforces the likelihood of consistent atmospheric moisture. Analysts point out that this may signal a prelude to heavier rainfall in the following days if temperature and humidity continue to rise. BMKG’s forecast thus serves as an early indicator of potential shifts in the capital’s weather dynamics.
Later in the evening, the agency expects cloudy skies to prevail once again across all six Jakarta regions. Air temperatures are projected to range between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels fluctuating from 62 to 94 percent. These figures reflect the capital’s high moisture content and its susceptibility to sudden rain bursts. BMKG’s detailed outlook reminds residents to remain alert and prepared, even when rainfall intensity is classified as light.
