BMKG unveiled the cause of hail in Cikini Jakpus that surprised residents

Jakarta – The phenomenon of Hail occurs in Cikini, Central -Jakarta, for viral on social media (social media). The meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) explained that the hail that took place in Cikini was caused by Kumulonimbus clouds during the transition season. Chairman of the BMKG Directorate for Weather -Meteorology forecast and early warning team, Ida Pramuardani, explained that the Cumulonimbus clouds are known as extreme weather because they could produce heavy rain, strong wind, lightning and even ice grains. “Hail occurs when water vapor rises to the top layer of clouds that experience extreme cooling to form ice creams. If the air stream rises (update) is strong enough, the ice grains will last, increase and then fall to the surface,” Ida said. Browse to continue the content over the last few days, he said, the Jabodetabek region was influenced by the dynamics of atmosphere, which is very important. The active Rossby -Equatorial waves, the outgoing Longwave radiation (OLR) value that tends to be negative, as well as the phenomenon of Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) that is active around Western Java, supports the growth of convective clouds. According to him, this condition is reinforced by high air moisture, unstable atmosphere and hot surface temperatures during the day with a series of 28-34 degrees Celsius. He said the combination could cause the hail. “The combination of these factors makes the weather feel warm in the afternoon, then becomes in heavy rain and even the afternoon until evening, as happens in Cikini,” he said. The hail event in the Cikini viral area on Instagram social media by amateur videos lasted less than 30 seconds. The video shows heavy rain accompanied by ice creams that fall in the Cikini area, Central -Jakarta,. BMKG calls on people to remain aware of the potential for extreme weather during the transition of the season, including heavy rain, lightning, strong winds and hail that can suddenly occur. Previously, a resident named Naim Mursalin said the hail in Cikini took place earlier at about 15.05 WIB. He said at the time it was raining very accompanied by strong winds. “It’s a little shocked, it’s nice to drink coffee when it rains, and suddenly the big wind was with the water drain when it fell, very heavy. When I saw the hail was recorded immediately. Not long, stop, ‘he said. (RFS/HAF)
