CLIMATE AND SEASON

The area of Jakarta city is the closest part of Java to the equator line. For years record the average daily temperature has been 32oCelcius with high moisture level around 80%. An increase of temperature was recorded in 2005 at 33oCelcius, and in 2006 a great increase is recorded at 37oCelcius. It is very hard indeed to stay open without any shadow for a time, especially among the concrete areas, or on the beach. The heavily hardened paths, open spaces, and roads might contribute the increase of heat beside the phenomena of global heating. The government of the city has done a great job to develop the city garden yet the bulk and uncontrollable influx of urbanization has caused the plan always legged behind by the changes of demographic map self changes. The big numbers of urban also causes great problem in housing, view and environment maintenance which has made Jakarta like in a closed theater building, only at the higher resident and government areas have been zoned well. This probably also contribute to the increasing of temperature in Jakarta itself. From October to April Jakarta enters the wet season, and normally low places along the sides of the rivers are flooded, meanwhile most of the poor urban and local built their houses along the sides of the rivers. Some times the flood last for three or five days that make the residents of this part must be evacuated to higher places. During May to September Jakarta is experiencing dry season, but this year of 2006 already November there is no sign of rain fall. During dry season there are many poorer settlements are under threat of natural disaster such as burn by electric short contact, or the most careless people by throwing burning smokes and others. The level of sea water at some places in Jakarta especially on the shore settlements is higher and this is indeed risk of receiving yearly flood. The only area that preserves the water is the area of Bogor highland, a place around 50 kms south of Jakarta which is actually also the source of fresh water. With the shifting of land use from open garden into various villas and new settlements has caused the potency of the area as water preservation has been decreasing tremendously. In this situation when heavy rain falls the flood in full volume flows through pitches and rivers toward lowland, especially to the area of Jakarta city.

In such a typical strong tropical temperature with full sunshine to the earth, one has to choose suitable clothing, especially if one has to be much of his/her time at the open place. The best dress for this condition is cotton that can absorb water or hygroscopic fabric to avoid skin burn which can grow fungus. Beside hygroscopic character dress must be able to give most vent to the body, simply it is able to give the circulation of the air between the body and the dress quickly. Sunscreen, hat or other shading would be necessary when one is exposed to the sun, and for those people come from sub-tropical countries sunscreen would be necessary to protect the skin. Alcoholic drink is not good for tropical area, which can make one losing appetite, and if this happened a trouble to the body, and a quick dehydration can be very common. During wet season one has to be careful to visit poorer area of the city, as sometimes diary or dengue fever can infect local people without realizing before. It is lucky that all interesting places in Jakarta visited by the tourist are far from such parts of the city.
