The Malang Raya region continues to manage drought conditions through significant water distribution efforts. As of September 23, 2026, the Malang Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reports that 12 villages are currently facing a water crisis, necessitating the ongoing distribution of millions of liters of clean water to affected residents.

Weather patterns in the region remain varied. While urban areas in Malang experience sunny weather, highland regions are characterized by hazy or foggy conditions. These local patterns align with broader BMKG forecasts for the region, which anticipate cloudy skies and mountain fog.

While the drought threat is expected to subside with the arrival of the rainy season between October and December 2026, the El Nino phenomenon may persist until early 2027.
