Children play at a public park fountain during hot weather in Jakarta, Indonesia, on October 19, 2025. Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warns that the country's ongoing heatwave, with temperatures soaring to as high as 37.6 degrees Celsius, is expected to continue until November 2025. The extreme heat is driven by a combination of the sun's motion and the Australian Monsoon, which brings dry, warm air that suppresses cloud formation and allows more solar radiation to reach the Earth's surface.
