‘Dry season to start late in most parts of country’

THE weather agency said that rainfall in the resource-rich country will normalise this year after a wet 2021, but the dry season will start later than usual in most areas due to the lingering effects of the La Nina weather pattern.

“More than 70% of the archipelago will see the dry season start late or on time this year, between April and June, as the La Nina weakens gradually,” weather agency chief Dwikorita Karnawati said in a news conference.
