Monday afternoon, 30 September 2024. Just like any typical weekday in Jakarta. Busy, chaotic, noisy, people hassle for work, packed traffic, tension, exhausted. But there was one thing which I just realized its kinda unusual for the weekday in Jakarta. That thing was the sky ! Yes, its the clear blue sky above the chaotic of Jakarta which captured my attention !
For Jakarta residents, the sky we normally have on the weekdays is somewhat grey which indicates how polluted is the air in this city and the biggest contributor for this are the vehicles emission and industrial waste. The only moments you can see clear blue sky is on holiday, weekend and covid pandemic as there are less car on the road. So, its pretty unusual to see it during normal weekday like this afternoon.
I personally love to see it, even it's probably doesn't mean that the air quality already goes better. How it becomes so blue today despite the normal busy traffic, well....I let the science define it lol.
But, with the clear sky we had today its also gave us a consequence which was the heat !! Yess...the sun shined so clear today and seems to be no cloud to cover so the flare and the heat were wayy so strong...
As seen in the picture here, the flare is the sun and the heat that I got felt like the sun just stand few inches above my head lol. Despite this condition, at least its better than having the gloomy grey polluted sky that we normally having on weekdays. Hope tomorrow I can see this clear blue sky again but probably with less heat, hohoho...
