Cloudy skies and heavy rain is seen Wednesday (20/12) over Jakarta. Changes in weather are expected ahead of the year’s end, which should be watched for heavy rains that can raise the risk of disasters.

The Christmas 2017 and New Year 2018 holidays will take place amidst extreme weather, with heavy rains and high waves.

The warning comes from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), as quoted in this daily. The BMKG’s extreme weather forecast must, of course, be heeded by those of us who will celebrate the Christmas and New Year holidays. All relevant parties, notably the Transportation Ministry, must ensure that transportation safety on land, at sea and in the sky is a highly important and foremost issue. The safety of passengers is absolute and non-negotiable.
