Heavy rainfall predicted across various regions including Jabodetabek and Kalimantan.

Indonesia's weather forecast for March 3rd, 2025, indicates diverse conditions as various regions prepare for varying weather patterns, from light to heavy rain.

The Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG) has released predictions outlining significant rain is expected across several areas, especially within the Jabodetabek region, which includes Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Rainfall intensity is projected to fluctuate from light to heavy during this period.

According to the BMKG's forecast, the day is expected to start off with cloudy weather across many regions. For example, the city of Jakarta anticipates rain starting relatively light yet intensifying throughout the day. The forecast highlights, "Hujan dengan intensitas ringan hingga lebat pada periode tersebut," indicating potential heavy rainfall, particularly around Bogor.

Specific forecasts detail the conditions expected for Jakarta. Early morning temperatures are predicted to hover around 24°C with the air likely remaining humid, approximately 97% humidity spots being reported. By midday, the temperature may rise to 30°C, with weather shifting to include light rain. The BMKG strongly urges residents to stay alert for expected rain on March 4th, particularly around Jakarta Selatan and Jakarta Timur, as conditions may include moderate rain.

Meanwhile, cities like Balikpapan are expected to experience moderate variations. The morning weather should remain mostly cloudy with temperatures resting around 24°C and winds shifting direction from the east at 8.1 m/s. Later throughout the day, temperatures could peak at 30°C, with light rain expected to drift through the area, emphasizing the chilly humidity with levels nearing 99%.

Across the island of Sumatra, Padang and Padang Pariaman present slightly varied conditions. Padang will start the day with cloudy skies and relatively cooler temperatures between 21°C and 23°C, residents can expect high humidity rates, fluctuated around 90-92% during the early morning. By midday, temperatures may climb to about 26°C but will also bring with it light rain as humidity levels dip slightly.

Cities such as Samarinda and other areas of Kalimantan Timur will similarly navigate through varying weather, with predictions indicating light rain combined with humidity ranging from 72 to 89%. High humidity will dominate the forecast as temperatures consistently move between 24°C to 30°C depending on the hour but later drop back at nighttime to around 24°C.

Given these predictions, the BMKG has recommended all individuals across Indonesia remain vigilant of the weather patterns developing. The high probability of rainfall coupled with existing humidity levels showcases the necessity for careful management of activities both indoors and outdoors. People are encouraged to stay updated with the latest forecasts and heeding any advisories issued by local meteorological agencies.

Weather enthusiasts and residents alike are advised to have necessary provisions ready, especially those located near areas prone to flooding as heavy rainstorms may disrupt normal activities. The potential for extreme weather events also necessitates local government to take special precautions, especially as communities prepare for the Ramadan season approaching.

Overall, the weather outlook for Indonesia on March 3rd, 2025, reflects the country’s rich and dynamic meteorological patterns, showcasing the need for continuous awareness and readiness amid changing weather conditions.
