Guswanto said that tropical cyclone Herman was observed in the Indian Ocean south of Java, with a maximum wind speed of 105 knots and a minimum air pressure of 940 mb (millibar), moving south-southeast.
Even though the intensity of tropical cyclone Herman has decreased, Guswanto reminded the public to remain vigilant, because it will have an indirect impact on the weather in Indonesia in the next 24 hours in the form of the potential for rain with moderate to heavy intensity accompanied by strong winds in the Bengkulu, South Sumatra, Lampung, Banten areas, West Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Java.
In addition, he continued, the tropical cyclone also had an indirect impact on the wave height in Indonesian waters. Wave heights in the range of 1.25-2.5 meters have the potential to occur in the Enggano-Bengkulu waters, the western Indian Ocean from the Mentawai to Bengkulu, the southern part of Lampung Bay, the southern waters of Bali.
Meanwhile, wave heights of 2.5-4 meters have the potential to occur in the western waters of Lampung, the Indian Ocean west of Lampung, the western and southern Sunda Straits, the southern waters of Java Island, and the Indian Ocean south of Java to Bali.
