BMKG Monitors Three Active Cyclone Phenomena Around Indonesia
BMKG, the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency, is keeping a close eye on the movement of tropical cyclone seeds affecting Indonesia’s weather conditions. The latest statement released by BMKG on Monday, February 10, 2025, at 10:00 WIB, highlights three active cyclone phenomena in the region.
Tropical Cyclone Taliah in the Indian Ocean
Tropical Cyclone Taliah has been observed in the Indian Ocean. Its center is located 1,580 kilometers southwest of Bengkulu. Taliah has a maximum wind speed of 35 knots or 65 kilometers per hour, with a minimum air pressure of 995 hectopascals (hPa).
According to BMKG, Taliah’s wind speed is expected to increase over the next 24 hours. The cyclone is projected to move west-southwest, moving away from Indonesian territory.
Cyclone Seed 96S off East Nusa Tenggara
Another cyclone seed, identified as 96S, was detected off the southern part of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), in the Indian Ocean west of Western Australia. This cyclone seed is carrying maximum wind speeds of 25 knots or 46 kilometers per hour and a minimum air pressure of around 998 hPa.
BMKG predicts that this cyclone seed may develop into a moderate to high tropical cyclone within the next 24 to 72 hours.
Cyclone Seed 93W in the South China Sea
In the South China Sea, BMKG has observed a cyclone seed designated as 93W. This system currently has a maximum wind speed of 15 knots or 28 kilometers per hour, and a pressure level of 1007 hPa.
BMKG suggests that the growth potential for cyclone seed 93W is relatively low.
Impact on Indonesia’s Weather
These cyclone systems are expected to influence both land and maritime weather conditions in Indonesia between February 10-11, 2025. Taliah has caused higher sea waves in the Indian Ocean off Lampung, averaging 2.5 meters in height.
In the North Kalimantan region, cyclone seed 93W has triggered moderate to heavy rain, and high waves up to 4 meters high have been recorded in the Anambas Islands-Natuna Islands region. Some areas in the North Natuna Sea have experienced waves reaching 6 meters.
Cyclone seed 96S has brought heavy rain to East Java, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and Bali. In addition, this cyclone seed has induced strong winds in Bali, with wind speeds peaking at 40 knots (74 kilometers per hour) at the Ngurah Rai Meteorological Station.
BMKG’s Advisory
BMKG has issued a strong advisory for heightened alertness regarding extreme weather conditions due to these cyclone phenomena. It is crucial for residents and authorities in potentially affected areas to remain vigilant and prepare accordingly.
