TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that the ex-tropical Cyclone Senyar, known as Ex-Tropical Depression (TD), will continue to intensify today, Saturday, November 29, 2025. According to the BMKG analysis as of 7:00 PM WIB (Western Indonesia Time) yesterday, the wind speed of Ex-Cyclone Senyar could reach 35 knots or approximately 65 kilometers per hour. A wind vortex moving northeast toward the South China Sea has the potential to become a Category 1 cyclone.
After its maximum wind speed weakened, the remnants of Cyclone Senyar moved around the South China Sea west of Tarempa. Until last night, its maximum speed was still 30 knots or 55 kilometers per hour. Its minimum air pressure was 1,006 hPa.
With a moderate to high chance of re-intensifying into a cyclone, Ex-Cyclone Senyar is expected to directly and indirectly affect the weather and sea waves in Indonesia. Heavy to very heavy rain is expected in the Riau Islands and West Kalimantan. Meanwhile, moderate rain is likely in West Sumatra, Jambi, and Riau.
BMKG also predicts strong winds due to Ex-Cyclone Senyar in West Sumatra and the Riau Islands. At sea, this wind phenomenon will cause medium waves, up to 2.5 meters in the Riau waters, Karimun Islands waters, Batam-Bintan-Lingga Islands waters, and waters north of Bangka Island to Belitung. The same prediction applies to the waters of West Kalimantan, the northern part of the Karimata Strait, the Natuna Sea, and the waters of the Anambas Islands.
