Cilacap, C Java (ANTARA) - Head of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), Dwikorita Karnawati, has urged all parties to brace for the impact of El Nino, which is starting to strengthen."El Nino, in accordance with the prediction results, has started to occur in Indonesia since July (2023). But according to the prediction results, El Nino was still weak in early July," she said after opening the 2023 Cilacap District Fishers' Weather Field School (SLCN) here on Thursday. Thus, the impact of El Nino in early July was less significant because it was still weak, she explained. However, several days ago, in line with predictions, the El Nino index strengthened from what was initially weak to moderate. "That is why we are continuing to intensively appeal, remind, that as El Nino becomes more moderate or becomes stronger, its impacts will become stronger as well," she informed.
