Nineteen earthquakes measuring 5.0 or above on Richter scale (RS) occured across the country during October. Several volcanoes increased their activities during October. Mount Marapi in West Sumatra erupted, spewing dark clouds up to 2,891 metres high. The Centre of Volcanology and Geological hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) raised the alert status of the volcano to level 2 (caution). Mount Lokon in North Sulawesi also erupted and spewed smoke up to 1,200 metres into the sky on 26 October. Increased activities were also recorded at Mount Anak Krakatau in Sunda Strait and Mount Papandayan in West Java. Their alert status however remained at level 3 (warning) 3. On the contrary, Mount Anak Ranakah in East Nusa Tenggara decreased its volcanic activity and PVMBG lowered the level of alert from 3 to level 2. Currently there are 4 volcanoes at alert level 3, including Papandayan, Karangetang, Lokon, and Anak Krakatau, and sixteen volcanoes at alert level 2. The Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported that most parts of the country entered the rainy season in October, including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and the rest of the country will enter the rainy season in November. The peak of the rains is expected in January or February 2012.

The worst flooding occured in Donggala District, Central Sulawesi on 17 October, killing three people. |
