BMKG explanation

Acting Deputy of Climatology of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) Urip Haryoko responded that the news was not true. hoaks.

He said the cold weather phenomenon in several parts of Indonesia was not related to Aphelion.

“The reason is that Aphelion has no significant effect on the temperature on earth. This includes the period when the earth is closer to the sun (Perihelion),” said Urip, in a written message received Kompas.com, Sunday (23/1/2022),

Urip said, during Aphelion, the position of the sun was indeed at the farthest point from the earth.

Aphelion is not related to cold weather

Actually this Aphelion phenomenon is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs once a year around July.

Meanwhile, he continued, the peak of Perihelion occurred in January.

With that, he concluded that the cold weather in the last few days was not due to Aphelion but due to other factors outside because the earth was at its furthest distance from the sun.

Currently, in general, Indonesia is in the rainy season with the peak period occurring in February 2022.

This makes it seem as if Aphelion has an extreme impact on reducing temperatures in Indonesia.
