Drought and seasonal transition in Yogyakarta
Overview
The Yogyakarta region is navigating a period of environmental instability characterized by a prolonged dry season and a subsequent seasonal transition. In Bantul, local authorities extended the Drought Emergency Alert status through December 31, 2026, to manage water distribution and emergency funding.
As the region begins transitioning toward the rainy season, rainfall has been recorded in areas such as Yogyakarta City, including Giwangan and Umbulharjo. However, the effects of the dry season persist in Kulonprogo Regency, where water shortages and dried riverbeds have increased the risk of wildfires. The Kulonprogo Regional Disaster Management Agency reported that 86 land and forest fires have occurred in 2026, a figure that exceeds the number of building and residential fires.
