Sukamsi, 84, is accompanied by Mita, his grandchild, as he walks in search of water from a well in the middle of Gandok Dam in Bedoyo village, Ponjong district, Gunung Kidul regency, Yogyakarta, on Thursday (30/8/2018). Up to 12 districts in the regency are dried up due to a drought this year. The local government continues to help alleviate the impact of the drought by sending water assistance to areas in need.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The climatic phenomenon of El Niño is said to be active again this year, even though it is still weak compared to 2015. Its impact on heightening the dry season in Indonesia must be monitored until April 2019.

The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) confirmed this weekend the formation of El Niño. The NOAA Climate Prediction Center announced, "A weak El Niño has formed and is expected to continue to be active in the northern hemisphere until spring 2019," referring to the months of March, April and May.
