CW: BRIN vs BMKG on weather forecast
President Jokowi and DPR Commission VII side with BMKG on BRIN weather forecast controversy
President Jokowi has advised the public to follow weather advice from the country's meteorological agency, BMKG, following the controversial weather announcement from BRIN climate researcher Dr. Erma Yulihastin on Twitter several days ago.
Dr. Erma shared her forecast on her Twitter account the day after Christmas, warning the public of an extreme rainfall and fierce storm on the 28th with Banten, Jakarta, and Bekasi being at the center of it.
The BMKG immediately refuted Dr. Erma's predictions, saying that they expect extreme weather on the 30th but there would be no storm or extreme rainfall on the 28th. Dr. Erma's warnings never came to pass on the 28th, nor the 29th.
While the DPR summoned both the BMKG and BRIN to explain the situation, DPR Commission VII member Mulyanto (PKS) said BRIN has no authority to make such announcements and that Dr. Erma had overstepped her bounds by publishing a weather warning.
BRIN, supervised by former President Megawati Soekarnoputri, has been at the center of several controversial decisions following its inception as it absorbed and shuttered multiple respected research agencies.
