BMKG Suggests Save Water as El Nino Phenomenon Impacts
His party is at the forefront in anticipating forest and land fires, the impact of the El Nino and IOD phenomena that will hit Indonesia, including North Sumatra.
"El Nino is included in hydrometeorological disasters, for the provincial level from the previous year, BPBD is the coordinator for handling forest and land fires. We continue to remind and invite other stakeholders to always be aware of the threat of forest and land fires," Saragih explained.
As reported from the BMKG website, El Nino is a phenomenon of warming sea surface temperatures above normal conditions that occur in the central Pacific Ocean.
This warming of sea surface temperatures increases the potential for cloud growth in the central Pacific Ocean and reduces rainfall in the Indonesian region. In short, El Nino triggers drought conditions for Indonesia in general.
