Heavy rains in Indonesia, which have led to floods in part of Jakarta, as well as neighboring cities, continue from December 31, 2019.

In a related context, the Indonesian Air Force sowed salt in the clouds, on Friday, in an attempt to prevent rain from reaching the capital, which is slowly sinking in the wake of floods and landslides caused by some of the heaviest rains ever recorded.
