Panas oetara

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007792

A hot, dry northerly wind that occurs in the Indonesian archipelago, particularly affecting the island of Java during the dry season. This local wind descends from the highlands, undergoing adiabatic warming as it loses altitude, which increases its temperature and lowers its relative humidity. The name translates from Indonesian as 'north heat', reflecting its direction and character.
