It was predicted that El Nino was coming, but Indonesia received floods instead. This disaster afflicted Central Java and parts of West and East Java last week, and began to appear in Sumatra as well. The flooding started in southern Central Java, which was overwhelmed due to the downpour, which lasted for several days.

As a result, there were landslides and a number of collapsed river embankments in the Regencies of Kebumen and Banyumas.
