1. Why Has Rain Persisted in Greater Jakarta for the Past Two Days?
The weather has been rainy in Greater Jakarta for the past two days. Persistent rain almost throughout Sunday morning until Monday morning, January 11-12, 2026. Followed by rain from Monday morning until late this noon.
The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded heavy rainfall in parts of Greater Jakarta throughout Sunday morning until Monday morning. It's no wonder that flood reports came from many areas when heavy rain returned on Monday morning until noon.
Reports from rain monitoring stations in Citayam and Jagorawi Bogor, both in Bogor Regency, revealed rainfall figures of up to 129.0 and 109.8 mm throughout Sunday morning until Monday morning.
2. List of 23 Roads in Jakarta Inundated by Floods
The number of flooded roads in Jakarta, Indonesia, due to heavy rain has increased. The Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) recorded that as of Monday, January 12, 2026, at 10:00 local time, 23 road sections in Jakarta were inundated.
In addition to the flooding in dozens of road sections, BPBD also noted that 10 neighborhood units were submerged in water. The majority of the flooded areas as a result of heavy rain were located in South Jakarta.
3. Trump Says US Will Take Greenland the "Easy Way or Hard Way"
In an apparent escalation of threats against NATO ally Denmark, US President Donald Trump on Friday said the US must take Greenland to prevent Russia or China from taking it.
What did Trump say about Greenland?
"We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not," the president told reporters at the White House while meeting with oil company executives.
"Because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor," he added.
Trump has previously said he would not rule out using military force to take the largely ice-covered island that has a population of 57,000 people.
