JAKARTA, April 9 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 9th Apr, 2021 ) :) -- Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency on Friday warned of possible heavy downpours, strong winds, and high sea waves resulted from tropical cyclones in the southern area of the Southeast Asian country.
The agency's Deputy for Meteorology Guswanto said the two tropical cyclones of Seroja and Odette "have an indirect impact, namely heavy rains with lightning and strong winds in the next 24 hours, especially in the provinces of Lampung, Central Java, East Java, and Bali." Currently, Seroja is moving southwest away from the Indonesian territory with a maximum wind speed of 75 km per hour, while Odette being on the Indian Ocean off Australia, about 780 km south-southwest of the Cilacap area in Central Java, with a speed of 80 km per hour.
