Temperatures Hit 36°C: Watch Out for Dehydration and Heat Stress
In late April 2026, Greater Jakarta residents felt intense heat from morning to afternoon. BMKG recorded maximum temperatures of 35 to 36°C, mainly in North Jakarta and its surroundings, with Ciputat among the hottest spots. The hot spell was expected to last into early May 2026.
According to a BMKG forecaster, the heat was driven by clear skies, little cloud cover, the sun's position near the equator, and dry easterly winds from Australia.
Health Risks in Hot Weather
- Dehydration: the body loses fluid faster through sweat.
- Heat stress or heat exhaustion, with dizziness, weakness, and nausea.
- Breathing problems, as air pollution tends to rise in dry weather.
Tips to Stay Healthy in the Heat
- Drink enough water throughout the day; do not wait until you are thirsty.
- Wear a hat, carry an umbrella, or cover your head outdoors.
- Limit activity in direct sun during peak hours.
- Choose thin, light-colored clothing.
- Eat more water-rich vegetables and fruit.
- Get into the shade and seek help if you feel severe dizziness, confusion, or faintness.
