BMKG weather forecast for Indonesia on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Digi Mart USA News (Jakarta, Indonesia): The weather forecast for Thursday, November 12, 2026, indicates that the potential for rain will persist in several regions of Indonesia. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts varied conditions, ranging from cloudy skies to light rain and thunderstorms.
Based on the BMKG forecast accessed on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, several major cities, including Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Medan and Makassar, have the potential to experience rain with varying intensities. People planning to travel, work outdoors or commute between cities are advised to pay attention to weather changes, especially in areas with the potential for thunderstorms.
BMKG has also issued a weather outlook for November 10–16, 2026, warning of an increased potential for rain in several regions of Indonesia due to atmospheric dynamics. The DKI Jakarta region is expected to experience uneven weather on Thursday.
Central Jakarta is forecast to be cloudy with temperatures of 24–31 degrees Celsius, and North Jakarta is expected to see similar conditions with temperatures of 25–31 degrees Celsius. West Jakarta has the potential for light rain with temperatures of 24–32 degrees Celsius.
Residents of South Jakarta need special attention, as BMKG forecasts the potential for thunderstorms there, with temperatures expected to range from 24–32 degrees Celsius. East Jakarta also has the potential for light rain, with temperatures of 24–32 degrees Celsius.
These differences between regions are why the public should check forecasts for their specific activity locations rather than relying only on the general Jakarta forecast.
Moving to South Sulawesi, BMKG forecasts light rain in several districts of Makassar City on Thursday. The Makassar District area is expected to see light rain with temperatures around 26–30 degrees Celsius, and similar conditions could occur in Mamajang, where temperatures are forecast at 26–30 degrees Celsius, and Mariso, where they are expected to be 26–29 degrees Celsius.
Travelers by motorcycle or public transport should take note of this potential for rain, especially when passing through areas with poor drainage systems. In Pangkajene and Islands Regency, Liukang Tupabbiring has the potential for light rain, while Liukang Tangaya is forecast to be cloudy.
In Bandung City, light rain is expected in several areas, including Sukasari, Coblong and Babakan Ciparay. Temperatures in Sukasari are forecast at 19–28 degrees Celsius and in Coblong at around 18–28 degrees Celsius, meaning the air may feel relatively cool, especially in the morning and at night.
The forecast for Semarang City shows the potential for light rain in Central Semarang, North Semarang and East Semarang, with temperatures in Central Semarang expected to range from 25–33 degrees Celsius. In Yogyakarta, BMKG also forecasts light rain on Thursday, with the Tegalrejo and Jetis areas expected to see temperatures around 24–30 degrees Celsius.
Residents in these urban areas should continue to monitor weather developments, because rain intensity can change in a relatively short time. In Surabaya, several districts, including Karang Pilang and Wonocolo, are forecast to be cloudy on Thursday, with temperatures of 25–34 degrees Celsius in Karang Pilang and around 25–33 degrees Celsius in Wonocolo.
In Medan City, light rain is forecast for Medan Kota District with temperatures around 24–30 degrees Celsius, and the Medan Sunggal area has the potential for moderate rain with temperatures of 24–30 degrees Celsius. In Denpasar City, South Denpasar has the potential to be cloudy, while East, West and North Denpasar are forecast to experience light rain.
In its weather outlook for November 10–16, 2026, published on November 10, BMKG said the increase in rain activity is influenced by several atmospheric factors. One is Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) activity, which is in phase 2 in the Indian Ocean, along with a shift in seasonal wind patterns from the Australian Monsoon to the Asian Monsoon.
These conditions support the growth of rain clouds in several regions of Indonesia.
The potential for moderate to heavy rain, and even locally very heavy rain, must continue to be watched. For November 10–12, 2026, BMKG has placed the Papua Highlands in the heavy rain alert category.
The Riau Islands and the Papua Highlands are also among the regions that should be wary of strong winds.
BMKG also identified a chance of increased moderate-intensity rain in several provinces, including West Java, Central Java, South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, West Kalimantan and parts of Papua. The warning is regional and does not mean that the entire territory of a province will experience heavy rain at the same time.
The public is advised to carry rain gear for outdoor activities and to avoid taking shelter under large trees during lightning or strong winds. Drivers should maintain a safe distance and reduce speed when rain reduces visibility.
In flood-prone areas, residents should watch the condition of water channels and avoid crossing roads with puddles of unknown depth.
BMKG also continues to remind the public about hot weather and dry air in several regions, and says body fluid intake should be monitored, especially for field workers. The forecast for Thursday, November 12, 2026, may be updated following changes in atmospheric conditions, so the public is advised to check the latest information through official BMKG channels before traveling.
