Indonesia Braces for an Intensifying Drought: El Nino's Long-Lasting Grip

As June 2026 approaches, the BMKG forecast suggests that a significant portion of Indonesia's landmass will enter the dry season.

A total of 198 ZOM areas, covering about 31.60% of Indonesia's territory, are expected to experience drought in the coming months.

This prolonged dry spell coincides with the ongoing El Nino phenomenon, which is predicted to persist until early 2027.
