Furthermore, the third position of the hottest city in Indonesia is occupied by the South Tangerang region with a maximum temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius. This figure is based on records from the Center for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Region II in South Tangerang.

Meanwhile, BMKG explained a number of factors causing hot temperatures in Indonesia. One of them is the effect of the El Nino climate phenomenon which causes the dry season to be more extreme hot and prolonged than the normal dry season.

The anomalous warming of sea temperatures caused by El Nino causes an increase in the lack of cloud formation, resulting in a significant decrease in rainfall in areas south of the equator.
