Meanwhile, Lecturer of Department of Geophysics and Meteorology FMIPA IPB Akhmad Faqih said that from 2020 to 2022 currently, the climate in Indonesia tends to be wetter than usual.

“So it’s because of the LaNina phenomenon, one of the reasons why our condition in 2022 is even wetter than usual and it rains often,” Faqih explained.

Faqih continued, the LaNina phenomenon caused most parts of Indonesia to experience a wetter season, with higher than normal rainfall.

However, the impact of LaNina may not be the same in other regions, such as the Americas, some of which are actually experiencing drought.

So, with the difference in influence of the LaNina phenomenon, when combined with the world diet, the effect will also be different.

The impact of La Nina depends on its relationship to global atmospheric circulation and other influencing factors.

“The three-year La Nina ‘triple dip’ has not only affected Indonesia, but also other G20 countries. Just as Indonesia experienced an above normal increase in rainfall, countries in South Africa, Australia, India and parts of Canada also experienced the same. On the other hand, G20 countries such as America, especially in the south, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Mexico are actually experiencing drier than usual conditions,” Faqih said.
