Several public facilities and infrastructure workers, alongside local road users push a truck that stalled on Monday (11/12) in high floodwaters under the Dukuh Atas overpass in Central Jakarta. Yesterday’s heavy rains, accompanied by strong winds, caused flooding in a number of areas and along several roads in the capital.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Heavy rain that lasted four hours, accompanied by thunder, hit the capital on Monday (11/12). Although it is no longer an unusual occurrence for Jakartans, the temporary flooding on Monday afternoon was said to be the worst so far during this year’s rainy season. No lives were lost in the floods.

Less than an hour after the heavy rain, traffic on several thoroughfares began to slow. Long traffic jams were unavoidable, such as on the Sudirman-Thamrin main thoroughfare in Central Jakarta, Jl. Rasuna Said in South Jakarta, Jl. MT Haryono in East Jakarta and the Latumenten-S Parman-Kyai Tapa thoroughfare in West Jakarta.
