Climate Drought In Indonesia

Motorists ride across the Katulampa Dam bridge in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, on July 17, 2026. The water level at the Katulampa Dam in Bogor City has reached 0 centimetres due to the dry season. The flow of the Ciliwung River has decreased, leaving the riverbed covered in rocks and mud. Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that the 2026 dry season will be drier and longer than normal due to the El Nino phenomenon. (Photo by Adriana Adie/NurPhoto)
