Floods in Jakarta

Flooding in Jakarta occurs on the northwest coast of Java, at the mouth of the Ciliwung River on Jakarta Bay, which is an inlet of the Java Sea and has happened repeatedly, recently in 1996, 1999, 2007, 2013, 2020, 2025, and more recently in 2026.

The most recent flood was a minor flood that happened in January 2026, but the most recent major flood occurred in early March 2025 and flooded the homes of over 10,000 people in the city and province of Jakarta (the capital of Indonesia). The same flood also affected over 61,000 people in neighboring Bekasi city and over 4,000 people in neighboring Tangerang city. Residents of nearby Bogor reported nearly eight hours of extreme rainfall during the March 2025 flood.
