00:04 "White wind, a tornado in KHTK"

00:08 Head of the BMKG Bandung, Tegur Rahayu,

00:14 revealed the cause of the white wind tornado

00:16 that hit Sumedang and Bandung regencies on February 21.

00:20 According to him, the white tornado occurred

00:23 because the temperature of the sea water around Indonesia was relatively warm.

00:27 The cyclonic circulation in the Indian Ocean of West Sumatra

00:31 caused the formation of a neutral point

00:33 with a meeting area and a wind curve in the West Java region.

00:37 In addition, the white wind tornado also occurred

00:40 because the index of West Java liability is in the middle to high category

00:43 so as to trigger a growth of convection clouds on a local scale.

00:47 Tegur also warned the residents of West Java to be vigilant

00:50 against the potential of disasters,

00:52 especially when it rains heavily

00:54 to very thick, raining for more than an hour.

00:57 "The recommendation is, first,

01:00 be vigilant against the potential of hydrometeorological disasters

01:04 such as heavy rain

01:06 to very thick, for more than an hour,

01:09 white wind, and ice rain

01:12 which can cause effects such as floods,

01:14 landslides, fallen trees, and other damage effects.

01:18 Second, be vigilant against extreme weather

01:22 such as medium to thick rain

01:25 accompanied by lightning and strong winds."

01:28 Previously, the white wind tornado

01:31 hit the areas of Jatinangor, Sumedang and Rangcaekek regencies

01:34 in the Bandung regency around 15.30 WEST INDONESIA.

01:42 suffered damage, especially in the roof.
