Climate Zone: According to Koppen Classification system, Jakarta has a hot and humid tropical wet and dry climate

Factors Affecting Climate: The higher the elevation, the less heat due to the spaced out particles, causing more energy than heat. Since Jakarta doesn't have high or low elevation, the temperature is in the middle. The latitude affects the climate because latitude dictates the intensity and duration of the suns exposure. This controls weather or not the climate will be hot, cold, or in between. Jakarta's topography affects its climate due to the body of water near it. This makes climate a little colder and foggier than other places that don't have bodies of water near it. It is also slightly cold due to its proximity to Jakarta bay. Jakarta is a high pressure area. This might affect climate due to air rushing out of city into area of low pressure.
