JAKARTA (Bernama): Indonesia continues to swelter under an intense heatwave, with temperatures soaring to 37.6 degrees Celsius in several regions, as the national weather agency warns that the extreme conditions could last until early November.

The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said the unusually hot spell is due to the sun’s apparent southward movement and the strengthening of easterly winds from the Australian Monsoon.
