JAKARTA – The cold air that covered Jakarta over the past few days was a hot topic for conversation among the inhabitants. Not only because the rain almost stops, but also because the temperature seems more cool than usual, especially at night. Interestingly, this phenomenon occurs in combination with floods in a number of areas of the capital.
Some residents claimed to be surprised by this sudden change in temperature. They call the atmosphere how to be in the highlands, and not in a big city, which is usually known as hot and humid.
“Usually hot and wet, but from this flood every night is felt at the top. I use a blanket of two layers, ”said Maulan (37), a resident of the duri Kosambi, Sengkaren, West Jakarta, on Tuesday (7/7/2025).
The same was said by Aldi (32), a resident of the moat of Buay, Sengkaren. According to him, at that time his house was still flooded, and it also made the air cold.
“After raising the rain and water, air is in the same way. Very cold, especially in the morning. As an atmosphere upstairs, although it was flooded, ”said Aldi, laughing.
