BMKG forecast flags strong winds around Kupang on 29 September

Kupang — A BMKG-based weather forecast for East Nusa Tenggara on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, warns of strong winds around Kupang while most areas remain clear or partly cloudy.

The forecast, compiled from information by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) El Tari Station in Kupang, states that weather across much of East Nusa Tenggara on Tuesday is expected to be dominated by clear and partly cloudy conditions. The outlook covers 22 cities and regencies in the province, including Kupang, Oelamasi, Ba’a and Sabu Raijua, according to the report.

BMKG El Tari is cited as predicting that the majority of districts and cities in the province will see no significant rainfall during the day. The forecast highlights that daytime and night-time skies in many locations, including Kupang and Sabu, are described as clear or partly cloudy, with temperatures generally ranging between 14 and 33 degrees Celsius across the region.

The same forecast carries a specific advisory for residents and travellers in several coastal and lowland areas. According to the report, BMKG El Tari asks the public in Kupang, Oelamasi and Ba’a to be alert for strong winds that could reach 33 KM/JAM in these localities during the forecast period. The bulletin notes that these areas are also expected to record some of the warmest temperatures in East Nusa Tenggara on the day.

For Kupang city, the BMKG-based forecast cited in the report indicates clear to partly cloudy conditions from morning through the early hours of the following day. The same pattern of clear or partly cloudy skies is reported for Oelamasi and Ba’a, combined with relatively high daytime temperatures and the potential for gusty winds up to 33 KM/JAM.

Strong-wind alert matters for travellers in Kupang area

The warning about winds up to 33 kilometres per hour is significant for residents and visitors moving through Kupang, Oelamasi and Ba’a, especially those using small boats or travelling on exposed roads, according to the BMKG-based forecast report. The bulletin indicates that, even under otherwise fair weather, sudden strong gusts can affect land and sea transport in these parts of East Nusa Tenggara.

The report stresses that the combination of clear skies, higher temperatures and stronger winds can increase the risk of dry conditions in open areas. According to the BMKG data cited, these factors may influence sea conditions around Rote Ndao and nearby waters, although the primary focus of the forecast is on land weather for the listed cities and regencies.

In its detailed city-by-city outlook, the BMKG-based forecast reproduced in the media report lists morning, afternoon, night and early-morning conditions for Kupang, Oelamasi, Sabu and Ba’a. Each entry confirms that Kupang, Oelamasi and Ba’a share similar patterns of clear or partly cloudy skies, temperature ranges in the low to mid-thirties Celsius, and wind speeds that can reach 33 kilometres per hour during the day.
