Parts of Makassar City were flooded following incessant heavy rain that fell from Monday evening until Tuesday noon. Floodwaters reached the height of up to 1.5 meters in several districts.

Currently, Indonesia is experiencing the peak of the rainy season, so the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has warned of possible hydrometeorological disasters.
