The peak of the dry season in South Sumatra

Several children are playing in a drying water reservoir in the Pinang River, Rambutan District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, on Monday (31/8/2026). The Meteorological Station BMKG Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Palembang stated that South Sumatra is entering the peak of the dry season, which is expected to last until September 2026, a condition that could potentially trigger droughts and forest and land fires (karhutla), while the likelihood of rain is expected to increase in early October and become more significant by mid-October.
