Radar outage in Indonesia
-
@Suty hello , this has happened again, and all this week (i.e. Jan 13th, 2025)
.., so far this week, there has been no radar at all for all of Indonesia on windy, but the neighbouring countries are still functioning.- this is strange because the Indonesia weather radar on the BMKG app (Indonesian meteorology website) is still working and is still offering a radar ( while at the same time the Windy radar is not working.)
Guys, is this a windy issue , or something else?
.., thx -
Hi @outlawcountry, our current source for Indonesian radar data (INA-SIAM) doesn't have current data (latest from
2026-01-09T05:55:00Z).I'll try to check the the app or contact BMKG to see if we can get the data any other way.
Also if you know of other way to get the data, it might be very useful.

I did a rapid search, I found some alternative sources:
Soekarno–Hatta International Airport: https://stamet-soetta.bmkg.go.id/radar-view/
Juanda International Airport: https://stamet-juanda.bmkg.go.id/radar/
Palembang: http://www.radar.cuacasumsel.com/
Yogyakarta International Airport: https://sipora-yogya.bmkg.go.id/radar/
Tebelian Airport: https://stametsintang.web.id/radar/ (In the layer selector it allows to choose Pontianak and Palangkaraya Radars as well)

@suty @filip_k Today I had some time today, and tried to find further sources for Indonesia, but no luck... Btw edited my previous comment so please be aware of the updates...
Yogyakarta radar, 4 days ago didn't seem to work, but today does, and it correctly displays the radar loop.BMKG on their website (https://www.bmkg.go.id/cuaca/radar/Indonesia) published the announcement:
Perhatian
Saat ini citra radar cuaca hanya dapat diakses melalui aplikasi Info BMKG.Caution
Currently, weather radar images can only be accessed through the BMKG Info application.I donwloaded the application and compared it to the radar of those urls and they correctly display the correct data so they can be used as alternative source.
Here's some pictures:
Yogyakarta:
Surabaya (Juanda International Airport):
Palembang:
For some reason, Jakarta (Soekarno–Hatta International Airport) radar on the BMKG app displays a smaller scope, compared to the urls..

@YacineBoussoufa Thank you for your information, I shared it with our colleague responsible for radar coverage in Windy.

Hi @yacineboussoufa and @outlawcountry
The issue is fixed, thank you for your patience and apologies for inconvenience.

The radar data for Indonesia are unavailable again. Apologies for any inconvenience.
We working to restore it back and will inform you with any updates. -
@Filip_K Seems like there is a composite image on https://weather.bmkg.go.id/ homepage
-
Hi @YacineBoussoufa, this might be usable, although the data don't contain any timestamp, so it will be impossible to know if it's updated. I'll look into it though. Thank you for your efforts.

@Filip_K That's unfortunate... The radar data I was able to access from their app just a couple of days ago is no longer available to me (likely due to not having an Indonesian IP). I'm not sure why they are so determined to safeguard the data :/

@filip_k Would you mind checking if there is an issue on Windy part? It currently shows "No data" on windy, while on inasiam it correctly displays the data
-
Hi @YacineBoussoufa, thanks for noticing, fixed.

@send2wsr Seems like inasiam.bmkg.go.id decided to enable Cloudflare's Browser Challenges to avoid web scraping...

It has been some time since my last update, inasiam.bmkg.go.id has recently been updated, and radar data is no longer publicly accessible without authentication.
@filip_k At this point, and if feasible, it may be worth exploring the implementation of individual radar data sources, beginning with those mentioned in the comments above.
