JAKARTA - Indonesia will carry out cloud seeding on Friday in a bid to prevent further rainfall over the capital Jakarta, after deadly flash floods and landslides following some of the heaviest rains in more than 20 years.
The floods followed torrential rains on Dec. 31 and into the early hours of New Year’s day and inundated swathes of Jakarta and nearby towns. The Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics Agency has warned that “extreme weather” may continue until Jan. 7, while heavy rainfall could last through to mid February.
