Jakarta is particularly vulnerable to flooding during the rainy season (typically October to April) due to a combination of factors including its low-lying geography, high population density, and inadequate drainage infrastructure. The diversion of traffic on Jalan Prapanca highlights the ongoing challenges the city faces in managing these recurring events.
