Core offering

BMKG is Indonesia's official government agency delivering meteorological, climatological, air quality, and geophysical services, including weather forecasting, earthquake and tsunami early warning (InaTEWS), climate monitoring and seasonal prediction, air quality and PM2.5 tracking, tropical cyclone monitoring, aviation and maritime weather services, forest fire danger ratings (SPARTAN), weather modification (cloud seeding), and national time standard dissemination. Its core offerings are delivered free of charge to the public through digital channels (website and Info BMKG app) and to government and enterprise stakeholders through specialized portals and direct integrations.

Product overview

BMKG (Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika) operates as Indonesia's national meteorological, climatological, and geophysical agency, offering a comprehensive suite of monitoring and early warning products. The portfolio centers on weather monitoring and forecasting services utilizing Himawari-9 satellite imagery and radar systems, supplemented by climate services including seasonal predictions and El Niño/La Niña analysis. Core offerings include the Earthquake and Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS) for real-time seismic monitoring, air quality monitoring with PM2.5 tracking, tropical cyclone tracking via TCWC Jakarta, and SPARTAN for forest fire potential assessment. The agency provides specialized maritime and aviation weather services, operates a national time standard system, and conducts weather modification operations (cloud seeding) across Indonesia. Public-facing access is available through the Info BMKG mobile application (16.8M+ Android downloads) and the Command Center Multi-Hazard Early Warning System. The recently launched ClimateSmart Indonesia platform (May 2025) represents an AI-enabled expansion into climate-driven disease prediction with Digital Twin capabilities.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves13 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration): US national meteorological, oceanographic, and geophysical agency. Directly comparable mandate (weather, climate, tsunami warnings, geophysics), with broader scope (oceanography, fisheries); recent BMKG-NOAA cooperation underscores alignment as the largest operational counterparts in their respective regions.

Direct peers

• Met Office (UK): United Kingdom's national meteorological service. Closest counterpart in mandate (weather, climate, hazards) and engaged alongside BMKG in the 10-year WCSSP SEA partnership; both operate national observation networks, public forecast services, and government-funded research arms.
• Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA): Japan's national meteorological service and a regional peer highly comparable on earthquake/tsunami monitoring (JMA also operates a national tsunami warning system), Himawari-9 satellite data provider to BMKG, and shared roles in typhoon tracking for the Western Pacific.
• Bureau of Meteorology (Australia): Australia's national meteorological, climatological, and geophysical agency. Strong overlap on aviation/maritime weather services, tropical cyclone monitoring (shared TCWC network), and government-funded public service mandate; comparable scale and regional orientation.
• India Meteorological Department (IMD): India's principal government agency for meteorology, seismology, and weather-modification operations. Same operating archetype (monsoon forecasting, cyclone tracking, agromet advisories, AWS/warning networks), making it a peer in Asia's emerging-market government met services.
• Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA): South Korea's national meteorological service. Comparable in size, technology adoption (AI forecasting, smart city integration), and statutory authority; relevant peer for benchmarking IT-driven public weather dissemination and earthquake/tsunami monitoring in a digitally advanced Asian context.
• Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD): Germany's national meteorological service. Comparable national mandate in weather/climate/aviation services; recent BMKG-DWD cooperation on AI for tsunami modeling and validation systems signals direct technical collaboration, mirroring BMKG's strategic intent to localize global best practice.

Emerging players

• European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF): Intergovernmental organization producing global numerical weather prediction models. While BMKG consumes ECMWF outputs in its forecasting chain, ECMWF is also a partner-institution in advancing regional modelling capacity that BMKG operationalizes as a Regional Modelling Centre.
