Palangkaraya sits on the island of Borneo, where an equatorial climate keeps rainfall heavy and fairly consistent throughout the year, without the sharply defined wet and dry seasons seen further south.
On the Kahayan River in Central Kalimantan, the city’s low-lying, peatland-heavy surroundings are sensitive to both flooding and dry-season fire risk. Many of Kalimantan’s cities and towns sit along major rivers that serve as key transport routes, so a sustained rain event upstream can raise water levels significantly downstream, making radar a useful complement to river-level monitoring in this densely forested region.
