On Java Island, rain is predicted to fall evenly across Serang, Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, and Yogyakarta, mostly at light intensity. Surabaya, however, could be hit by moderate showers.
Weather conditions in Bali and Nusa Tenggara are expected to be relatively stable. Denpasar is forecast to be cloudy, Kupang will see heavy cloud cover, and Mataram may experience light rain.
