Manggarai — The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) forecast mostly cloudy conditions across East Nusa Tenggara on Saturday, 3 October 2026, with light rain possible in Manggarai. The forecast covers 22 regencies and cities in East Nusa Tenggara, where most areas were expected to experience cloudy conditions throughout the day.

Ruteng, the capital of Manggarai Regency, was identified as one location where rain could occur during the day. The possibility of rain in Ruteng was part of the forecast for local conditions in the province on Saturday.

Why it matters to readers travelling through Flores

The forecast is relevant to residents and visitors moving through Flores because conditions may vary between generally cloudy skies and localised light rain. Travellers around Manggarai and Ruteng may therefore encounter different weather from other parts of the province on the same day.

Flores could experience light rain during the 3–5 October 2026 period. East Nusa Tenggara was generally expected to have clear to partly cloudy conditions during the period, although localised weather differences remained possible across the province.

BMKG said East Nusa Tenggara was still in the dry season. The seasonal condition formed part of the agency’s description of the weather outlook for the province during the period covered by the forecast.

BMKG further warned that the southeast monsoon remained active and could bring strong winds, with a potential risk of forest and land fires. The warning applied alongside the forecast of generally cloudy weather and possible light rain in Manggarai.
