akarta is preparing to enter the rainy season this year. According to the “2020-2021 Rain Prediction in In- Jdonesia” from the Meteorology, Climat- alogy and Geophysics agency (BMKG), the rainy season in Jakarta will gradu- ally begin in October, reaching its peak time in January and February next year. For the intensity of rainfall, it is predict- ed that the area in East and South Ja- karta will get more than 115% of intensity, which is more than the normal average.

Since Jakarta has long history of flood- ings, the government has prepared for it. It is important since this year’s season is more challenging due to the current weather phenomena: La Nina in the Pa- cific Ocean and negative phase of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) in the Indian Ocean. Both of them, according to the head of BMKG Dwikoriita Karnawati, are potential 7 to increase the intensity of the rainfall by 40%. It was estimated that 27.5% from 342 seasonal zones (ZOM) in the archi- pelago will experience wetter rainy sea- son than the annual average for the last 30 years (period of 1981-2010). The rain- fall intensity will be higher.

Even without the impact of La Nina and IOD, the rainfall intensity in Jakarta area is relatively high. When the flooding oc- cured last January, the rainfall reached 377 mm/day. As a result, many rivers and drainages were overflowed, since the capacity of the rivers in Jakarta only
