Suara press. Jakarta - BMKG continues to monitor weather conditions and situations around Mount Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait. Based on BMKG observations, the volcanic ash height of Mount Anak Krakatau can reach 10 km.

"We also monitor the vulcanic ash, so we also monitor the distribution of volcanic ash still there, so we also urge the friends of the flight agencies to be careful, because the distribution is heading southwest today with a height of up to 10 kilometer for today, "said Head of the BMKG Weather Prediction Subdivision Agie Wandala Putra to reporters at his office, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (12/26/2018).



Rainfall around the Sunda Strait area is also high and even. BMKG hopes that this weather will not disturb the activities of volunteers who are looking for tsunami victims in the Sunda Strait.

"It is estimated that in 2 days, today and tomorrow, the rain is quite evenly distributed around the southern region of Lampung and also in the Sunda Strait region itself, and also in the Banten region. Hopefully this does not hinder or disrupt the evacuation activities of friends or volunteers who are joined there, "Agie said.
