TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The Jakarta provincial government has officially launched an Air Quality Early Warning System (EWS) through its website, udara.jakarta.go.id, allowing residents to monitor air quality in real time and access forecasts up to three days in advance to better plan their daily activities.
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said the new feature is designed to provide the public with more comprehensive information on air quality before they head outdoors.
"Previously, people could only check air quality conditions for the current day. Now, forecasts for up to three days ahead are available," Pramono said during the Jakarta Eco Future Festival (JEFF) 2026, according to a written statement issued on Friday, July 3, 2026.
He said the system goes beyond presenting technical air quality data by offering practical guidance to help residents take preventive measures when pollution levels are expected to worsen.
Integrated Air Quality Information
Head of the Jakarta Environmental Agency Dudi Gardesi said the EWS reflects the city's commitment to strengthening public health protection against the impacts of urban air pollution.
The platform was developed with support from Breathe Cities, a global initiative backed by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Clean Air Fund, and C40 Cities, and implemented in Jakarta in collaboration with Vital Strategies.
Through an interactive map, users can monitor air quality across different parts of Jakarta using Indonesia's Air Pollution Standard Index (ISPU) while also viewing the locations of air quality monitoring stations.
"The EWS integrates air quality data from the Jakarta Environmental Agency, air quality forecasts from Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), as well as health recommendations and information from the Jakarta Health Agency into a single integrated platform," Dudi said.
Four Key Features
According to Dudi, the Early Warning System offers four main features.
First, it combines real-time air quality data, pollution forecasts, and public health information in one platform.
Second, it provides district-level air quality forecasts for up to three days, enabling residents to make informed decisions about outdoor activities.
Third, the system offers personalized activity recommendations based on users' health conditions, with special guidance for vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with chronic illnesses. The recommendations cover both indoor and outdoor activities and include information on nearby healthcare facilities.
Finally, the platform includes a self-assessment tool that allows users to report symptoms potentially linked to air pollution exposure. Based on their responses, the system estimates their health risk level, ranging from low to high.
"With this feature, people can identify potential health risks earlier and take appropriate preventive measures," Dudi said.
He expressed hope that the EWS at udara.jakarta.go.id will become the primary public reference for monitoring Jakarta's air quality, enabling residents to take precautions before pollution levels pose greater health risks.
