**Tiyo Surya Sakti:** Thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us what residents of Jakarta can expect weather-wise for the rest of the day?
**BMKG Meteorologist:** Thank you for having me, Tiyo. As we’ve forecasted, residents should brace themselves for rain showers that will begin around noon and persist into the night. It’s essential for everyone to stay updated with real-time weather updates to ensure their safety.
**Tiyo Surya Sakti:** You mentioned the rain would start in the afternoon. Are there any specific areas that might be more affected than others?
**BMKG Meteorologist:** While rain will cover most parts of Jakarta, Central Jakarta is expected to experience sunny but cloudy conditions in the morning. However, by midday, we anticipate that showers will ripple out across the city. Areas with less drainage might face localized flooding, so it’s crucial to remain cautious.
**Tiyo Surya Sakti:** Besides flooding, are there any other weather-related concerns residents should be aware of?
**BMKG Meteorologist:** Yes, indeed. Along with potential flooding, there could also be strong winds accompanying the rain showers. We advise everyone to secure loose items outdoors and avoid travel during peak rainfall hours if possible.
**Tiyo Surya Sakti:** Thank you for that advice. What measures can the public take to prepare for the upcoming weather?
**BMKG Meteorologist:** It’s best for residents to stock up on necessary supplies, ensure their homes are ready for rain by clearing drainage systems, and check on local reports. If you have plans to go out, carry an umbrella and wear appropriate clothing to stay dry.
**Tiyo Surya Sakti:** Great tips! Is there anything else you’d like to add?
**BMKG Meteorologist:** Just a reminder to keep informed through our official BMKG channels, as weather conditions can change. Stay safe, Jakarta!
**Tiyo Surya Sakti:** Thank you so much for your insights today. Stay safe and dry out there!
