These monsoons are triggered due to a high pressure that place in January and February. This high pressure acts as corresponding and reversed one to that one triggered in July and August over the Australian desert, which moves winds from the continent in the direction of the northwest. As these winds approach the equator, they are veered off due to the earth’s rotation towards the South Asian mainland.   The triggered monsoons are augmented by humid breeze coming from the Indian Ocean. This generates significant amounts of rain throughout many regions of the archipelago.

These monsoons affect both western and northern parts of Indonesia. The precipitation there is the highest. Western Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Bali and Irian Jaya are considered the most damp areas within the region due to the moving-monsoons cloud that are heavy with moisture when they reach these regions.

The Monsoons leaves drastic disastrous outcomes when it reaches the Indonesian capital (Jakarta). The capital will stay several days under waist-high water leaving thousands of people without shelters seeking help. They force business and government entities to close many days, sometimes. It paralyzes the city for many days leaving the city out of the loop.

Indonesia has prevailing cool temperatures. The air temperature tends to change little from one region to another and from season to to another, but the cool temperature prevails in the region. It has been proven that temperature drops almost 1 ° per 90-meter increase in elevation from sea level.

Southeast Asia and Northern Australia tend to be combined in one monsoonal system. The peculiar symmetrical distribution of landmasses on both sides of the Equator gives this system its is peculiarity settings it apart from others. These monsoonal systems tend to be the weakest during summer due to the masses of waters between the two continents.
