What BMKG’s village-level Ruteng forecast means for travellers

Ruteng — BMKG’s village-level forecast listed Kabut/Asap, meaning haze or smoke, with temperatures of 14–24 °C for Thursday, 1 October 2026, in Wae Belang, Cumbi and Pong Lao.

The forecast was published for Ruteng subdistrict in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. It presents conditions separately for each kelurahan or desa, rather than as one reading for the whole area.

Wae Belang was listed with Kabut/Asap and temperatures of 14–24 °C on 1 October. Cumbi was given the same weather condition and temperature range. Pong Lao was also listed with Kabut/Asap and temperatures of 14–24 °C.

Why it matters to readers

The village-level format matters because conditions can vary within Manggarai. A citywide or regency-level forecast may not show the differences recorded between individual villages.

BMKG, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency, displays the forecast by administrative location. The Ruteng page identifies each location in a table and provides weather conditions, temperature ranges and humidity ranges for successive dates.

For 1 October, the humidity range was 64–99% in Wae Belang, 65–99% in Cumbi and 66–98% in Pong Lao. Those figures are part of the same village-level forecast table.

The listed weather condition was Kabut/Asap, the Indonesian label used on the BMKG page for haze or smoke. The page also showed different conditions and temperature ranges for other dates, demonstrating that both location and date affect the forecast.

Readers checking conditions in Ruteng should therefore identify the relevant village or administrative area and the forecast date. The BMKG page is the official source for the listed village-level data.
