JAKARTA, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) on Saturday warned of extreme weather that can happen due to the rainy season and the La Nina phenomenon.

The agency's deputy for climatology Herizal said like the rainy season, the La Nina phenomenon in Indonesia causes an accumulation of rainfalls up to 40 percent above the normal condition.

"The rainy season as well as the La Nina have potentials to trigger hydro-meteorological disasters such as floods and landslides," said Herizal.

BMKG predicts that La Nina will continue to develop until the end of 2020.

La Nina begins to drop during the January-February period and will end around the March-April period 2021. Enditem
