The Dieng ice dew phenomenon

Indonesia is a tropical country, and only knows two seasons, the dry season and the rainy season.

The dry season usually starts from June to the end of October. Sometimes the desire arises to feel winter filled with snow like abroad, it seems fun to play in the snow :sweat_smile:

Indonesia only knows two seasons, but we feel fortunate because during the dry season there are several regions in Indonesia that experience the phenomenon of frost.

Dieng Plateau is one of the areas that always experiences the phenomenon of frost or local people Dieng used to call it dew upas (dew toxic).

Why is it called ‘dew dew’? because in Dieng there is a potato and vegetable plantation, if their potato and vegetable crops are exposed to dewdrops, it is certain that their plants will die because all of their leaves are covered by that dew (haze).

Dieng in Banjarnegara, Central Java. There is an altitude of 2,000 above sea level, ideal with a temperature cold many types of vegetable crops are cultivated there.

The phenomenon of frost occurs usually when the transition of the season, from the rainy season to the dry season and when the air temperature is at the lowest point of 0 ° c. June to August usually frost will appear.

Frost usually appears from 9 pm to 7 am when the sun rises perfectly.

The ideal time to enjoy the dewdrop phenomenon is at 5 am.

Butt it is optional because there are also tourists who have been in the location of the usual dew since nightfall, for fear of missing a rare moment that only happens once a year.

Arrived, we can be sure the Dieng plateau will be full of tourists from outside the area who intentionally come to see the ice dew phenomenon.

The usual location of the ice dew to appear is in the Arjuna Temple complex, Dieng.

June 2019 for the first time I was able to enjoy the phenomenon of Dieng ice dew.

Woow … only that word that I can say to see the expanse of grass, potato plants covered in white ice dew h like cotton (in my heart said maybe snow is also like this huh? :joy: )

Thank God for this phenomenon of frost, I was so able to feel the winter like abroad that I often imagine.

Are there among you also some who have experienced weather-related phenomena such as happened in a part of Indonesia?

Please tell a story in the comments column so we can find out about your place.
