Batam is Very Hot

Last weekend people who live in Batam Island, Indonesia had felt hot for two days. According to Indonesian agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) mentioned that temperature on Batam was 35°C (maximum) on Sunday, May 8th, 2011. It made people felt uncomfortable although we turn the air conditioning on, and we still felt very hot.

BMKG said that it could happen because of season changing from rainy season to dry season. Beside that changing of wind direction and earth in closest position with the sun also made the effect of this hot weather on tropical area, including Batam Island, Indonesia. All area in Indonesia was also the same.

Batam Island is archipelago area, so the most area is water, so it would be easy to make water sublimating. It means there would be possibility for raining even in dry season in 2 or 3 days . But it would happen on some areas.
And this morning it happened, when i went to work, i saw to the sky cloudy. And it rained after i arrived to my office. Hmm.. I got lucky (but not for my friends, some of them came to the office in wet).
According BMKG it's also dangerous because it was columbus cloud. It was black cloud, containing water with electrics powers and could generate thunder. Some days ago there was a girl in Batam dead because of getting shock of thunder. That's why BMKG remind people for aware the dangerous and to be careful.
