On 14 November, the Bureau of Meteorology noted that a tropical low could form west of Sumatra.[1] Several days later, they noted that the tropical low was developing.[2] Further consolidation due to a westerly wind burst, which also spawned a twin cyclone, prompted the Joint Typhoon Warning Center to first track it on 23 November.[3]

Preparations and impact

[edit]

Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) warned of heavy rains from 01U across Sumatra and Java, and that much of Indonesia's coastline could experience waves of up to 1.25–2.5 m (4.1–8.2 ft), with waves of 2.5–4 m (8.2–13.1 ft) expected along the coastlines of western Sumatra, Banten in Java, and at the Sunda Strait.[4]

In Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra, flooding killed five people and destroyed two houses.[5] In Sibolangit, floods caused four deaths, injured nine and left two missing.[6] A landslide killed four people and left six missing in Karo Regency.[7] Severe flooding in South Tapanuli Regency killed two people, left two missing, injured 76, destroyed 16 houses and damaged 345 others, with three villages recording severe damage.[8][9][10]

In Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra, flooding left one person dead and another missing.[11] A child drowned at Subulussalam, Aceh, where 17 villages were flooded.[12] Additionally, four people were killed by a landslide in Purworejo Regency[13] and a man died after a river overflowed at Semarang, Central Java.[14] Landslides also damaged 63 houses in Wargasari village, Cianjur, West Java.[15]
