Unusual Wet Season Predicted for Indonesia in 2025 Due to Solar Activity

Indonesia is expected to experience a wetter-than-usual dry season in 2025, with higher-than-average rainfall in several regions. This anomaly is primarily attributed to increased solar activity, specifically sunspots, according to meteorologists at IPB University. Sunspots, which are dark spots on the Sun's surface, indicate high radiation activity. The current solar cycle, which peaks every 11 years, is at its maximum and will continue into 2025. This increased solar activity is influencing weather patterns. The increased solar activity is accelerating the condensation process in the atmosphere, leading to increased cloud formation and the potential for heavy rainfall. This phenomenon is contributing to the unusual wet season, even during the typically dry months.
