All About Indonesia Climate

Due to its astronomic position that is its straddling position in the equator that is to say at 6°LN – 11°LS, Indonesia climate is nearly all tropical. This tropical Indonesia climate usually has characteristics such as high humidity, high temperature, heavy rainfall and low winds. The average temperature in a climate country such as Indonesia is between 23°C – 28°C. The higher a particular place to be, the lower the temperature would be. The position of Indonesia archipelago between two big continents, Asia and Australia also has great impact to the Indonesia climate. There are two main seasons in Indonesia namely dry or hot season and rainy season. These two seasons are deeply affected by the monsoons.

While the east monsoon blows from Australia to the Indian Ocean toward Indian ocean. The nature of his particular monsoon is dry and it indeed brings a dry season to Indonesia archipelago country. Generally, this monsoon blows from the month of March to September.

The topographic condition of the Indonesia archipelago and the wind patterns as mentioned earlier brings a great impact to Indonesia climate. In fact, it causes the production of considerable variation in rainfall throughout the country.  The western and northern part of this country such as Western Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua experienced the most rainfall due to the monsoon clouds that blows from Asia toward Australia carried clouds with condensed moisture. These particular area are the most damp area in Indonesia and the rainfall is over 2,000 millimeters per years. The Indonesia climate in the islands close to Australia such as Nusa Tenggara and the tip of Java are dry with rainfall measuring less than 1,000 millimeters per years. As a matter of fact, the southern Maluku island experience exceedingly unpredictable rainfall patterns depend on their local wind currents. A city called Bogor of which location is close to Jakarta is claimed to be the city with the highest numbers of rainstorms every year that is to say 322.
