RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has identified the emergence of three tropical cyclone seeds around the Indonesian region. The presence of this phenomenon triggers the potential for increased rainfall (extreme weather), strong winds, and high waves in several provinces over the next few days.
The head of BMKG, Teuku Faisal Fathani, explained that the active systems include Cyclone Seeds 90S, 93S, and 92P in different locations. The three seeds are observed to be in the Indian Ocean south of Java, northwest of Australia, and south of Papua.
“We are intensively monitoring the movement of these three cyclone seeds for a full 24 hours. We urge the public to remain calm, but to increase vigilance toward potential indirect impacts, such as flooding or strong winds. Make sure to only refer to the official BMKG channels to avoid incorrect information (hoaxes),” Faisal said in Jakarta, Tuesday, 3 march 2026.
Meanwhile, Acting Deputy for Meteorology, Andri Ramdhani, mentioned that Cyclone Seed 90S has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within 24 to 48 hours. Although other seeds have a low chance, they still significantly impact the water conditions in Indonesia.
"The emergence of these three cyclone seeds increases the air pressure gradient, strengthening surface wind speeds and triggering the concentration of air masses. This condition is reinforced by the warm sea surface temperatures in the southern and eastern waters of Indonesia, as well as the formation of a wind convergence area along Bali to East Nusa Tenggara," Andri stated.
The impact of this atmospheric dynamics is the potential for heavy rain in the regions of Banten, Java, Bali, and East Nusa Tenggara. Additionally, the threat of strong winds looms over the regions of Lampung, South Sulawesi, Maluku, and the southern coast of South Papua.
BMKG urges the public to anticipate hydrometeorological disasters such as flooding, landslides, and inundation in vulnerable areas. Ensure that the building structure remains sturdy and avoid taking shelter under trees or billboards during strong winds.
