Pada tanggal 27 November 2017 jam 19.00 WIB terjadi fenomena Siklon Tropis Cempaka di Perairan Selatan Jawa. Fenomena tersebut disebabkan oleh anomali dan kenaikan suhu permukaan laut yang cukup signifikan di wilayah tersebut sehingga memicu transfer energi yang besar dalam interaksi laut dan atmosfer. Akibatnya terjadi perubahan cuaca terutama kondisi awan yang dapat mengganggu kegiatan penerbangan di Bandara Tunggulwulung, Cilacap Jawa Tengah. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh fenomena tersebut terhadap wilayah Pulau Jawa. Data yang digunakan adalah reanalisis suhu permukaan laut dari AVHRR- NOAA, Satelit Himawari-8 Kanal IR, data Radiosonde dan Sinoptik dari Stasiun Meteorologi Cilacap, data Streamline dari BoM, dan data curah hujan Satelit GSMAP selama periode Siklon Tropis Cempaka. Metode yang digunakan adalah teknik Dvorak, teknik HCAI, dan komposit pemetaan secara spasial dan temporal. Dapat diketahui bahwa suhu permukaan laut pada saat itu lebih 28,4 oC dengan anomalinya sebesar lebih dari 0,2 oC. Intensitas Siklon Tropis yang terjadi mencapai T-Number 2,5, kecepatan maksimum di sekitar Siklon ± 35 knot, dan pusat tekanan rendah mencapai 997 mb.

This incident induced high rainfall leading to flash floods in the southern part of Central Java, including Gunungsewu Karst Area. The highest rainfall recorded on November 28, 2017, in this area was 239 mm/day (Automatic Rainfall Recorder/ARR Station in Pindul Cave) and 341 mm/day (ARR Station in Tepus). The extreme rainfall also caused groundwater flood in Ngreneng Karst Window. This study aimed to analyze the mechanism of this flood. The results of the analysis showed that it was caused by water filling up the conduit passage in the entire Bribin-Baron underground river system.

They had spent more than 20 traumatic days in the kingdom waiting for new travel documents. They arrived to a rousing welcome early yesterday, and were received at the border by police officers, office- bearers of the India Sunni Jamaat organization, volun- teers and relatives. However, eight of the pilgrims could not enter Kuwait as they only had exit passes and no passports, and had to go back to Makkah. According to sources, the tour oper- ators who took the pilgrims to the kingdom on umrah visas offered to help them complete their formalities and promised them air tickets to go back to their respective countries at the earliest. “We entered Kuwait around 6 o’clock in the morning, as we had to spend almost a day at the Kuwait-Saudi border because eight people in our group didn’t have passports,” said Razak Cheruthuruthy, one of the pilgrims.
