As of July 2025, the US Drought Monitor reports that drought conditions persist across the southwestern United States, despite it being the typical monsoon season there US Drought Monitor, reflecting the unpredictable nature of seasonal weather patterns globally.

According to the **BMKG**, only 30% of Indonesia’s seasonal zones had entered the dry season by the end of June. The agency noted that most of Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua still face the potential for moderate to heavy rain, possibly accompanied by thunder and strong winds, within the coming week.

Atmospheric Dynamics

The **BMKG** explained that the weather during this dry season is being affected by atmospheric dynamics, including the continuous formation of convective or rain clouds, equatorial Rossby and Kelvin waves, convergence zones, wind convergence, and potential cyclonic circulation around the Indian and Pacific Oceans. These factors are contributing to the ongoing development of widespread rain clouds.

Jakarta –

In this month, there is an event Full moon “Buck Moon“

The peak of the full moon phase occurs at dawn. The following is complete information.

Quoting from the Space site, the name Buck Moon originated from the time in North America during male deer, known as Bucks, began to grow its horns. Sometimes also called ‘Thunder Moon’, referring to the summer storm that often hit a part of the US in July.

This month’s milestone also occurs less than a week after the earth reaches Aphelion – the point in its orbit is the most distant from the sun – making it the fastener moon the farthest of the sun in 2025.

The full moon in July will look very low in the sky after sunset. This is mostly caused by close to the turning point of the summer sun, when the sun is at the highest point in the daytime sky, and the moon follows a low path throughout the night.

According to the Almanac website, the full moon in July is called buck moon because male deer horns are in full growth mode at this time. Male deer releases and re -growing its horns every year, producing larger and more impressive horns over time.

Buck Moon Schedule 2025

Based on information from BMKG, the full moon in July is known as Buck Moon. This term originated from the American native who observed that in July, there was a re -growth of male deer horns after the mating season.

Buck Moon 2025 occurs at:

  • Peak Purnama Phase: July 10, 2025 at 03.36 WIB
  • Earth Distance – Moon During the Purnama Phase July 10, 2025: 390,730 km

In comparison, the distance of the earth – the month during the Purnama Apogee phase April 13, 2025 is 406,006 km. Then, the distance of the earth – the month during the Purnama Perige phase on November 5, 2025 is 356,980 km.

How to see buck moon July 2025

Launching the Space page, the best time to see the full moon in July is a few hours after the month of publication on July 10, when the moon disk will look bigger than the actual size, thanks to ‘the illusion of the Moon’.

You can also see Buck Moon turning into a golden or reddish hue shortly after publication. This warm hue is caused by rayleigh scattering, the same effect that causes the sunset and colorful sunrise.

This happens because the sunlight reflected from the moon must travel further distances through the Earth’s atmosphere to reach us when under the horizon than when it is right above the head, which causes more light in a blue wavelength to spread, while allowing the reder wavelength to enter.

Jakarta –

Heavy rain still has the potential to be present in the Greater Jakarta area and a number of other areas outside of Java, Monday, July 7, 2025. The potential for raining is evenly distributed, and in some regions accompanied by lightning.

The Climatology and Geophysics Meteorology Agency (BMKG) predicts that the potential for rain today is in the area around Jakarta, Regency and City of Bogor, and Depok City. While the Bekasi and Tangerang areas are estimated to have cloudy weather.

Prediction of heavy rain also applies other regions in Indonesia. Previously, BMKG Public Meteorology Director Andri Ramdhani said, weekly weather forecasts for the period 4-10 July 2025 showed that the potential for heavy rain was still high in various regions.

In July 4-6, the areas that need to be watched out for include West Sulawesi, Maluku and South Papua for the category of heavy rain standards. While strong winds have the potential to occur in the Riau Islands, Banten, West Java, East Java, Bali, NTB, NTT, and several regions in Sulawesi and Papua.

“On July 7-10, the potential for rain is very heavy even estimated in the mountains, while the Maluku region is still in the standby category. The community must remain vigilant, especially against flash floods, landslides, and daily disruption,” Andri said.

Cloud group cumulonimbus

Researcher of the Climate and Atmospheric Research Center, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Erma Yulihastin, said the phenomenon of the Cumulonimbus or Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) clouds is the origin of high intensity rain during the weekend in Jabodetabek and other regions in southern Indonesia.

“The MCC cloud cluster activity that continues to expand intensively is formed in the North Java Sea of ​​Central Java-East Java. Causing heavy rain and high waves in the sea,” Erma wrote in a tweet on her X account, Sunday (6/7) night.

In her latest update, Erma said the effect of Vortek’s cyclonic activity in the Indian Ocean has triggered the formation of MCC and Squall Line in Sumatra Persistent and continues to spread to Kalimantan and Java.

“Now it has even spread to Kalimantan,” Erma said via text message on Monday (7/7/2025) morning.

Erma explained, it took 6-9 hours for a collection and row of cumulonimbus clouds that brought the potential for heavy rain to spread to Kalimantan. Or, 12-24 hours to Java. That, too, MCC which has been decorated can be reinforced because it interacts with the temperature of the warm Java Sea.
