The Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Palembang Meteorological Station (BMKG) stated that South Sumatra has entered the peak of the dry season, which is expected to last until September 2026, a condition that could trigger drought and forest and land fires (karhutla). Meanwhile, the chances of rainfall are expected to increase in early October and become more significant by mid-October. ANTARA FOTO/Nova Wahyudi/kye
