Identification the impact of climate change on extreme weather events in Indonesia Maritime Continent using NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 data

Global climate change challenges regions like the Indonesia Maritime Continent (IMC), where greenhouse gas emissions drive extreme weather. This study examines future changes in extreme rainfall using NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 data. Historical (1984-2014) and projected (2015-2060) data reveal that under high-emission scenarios (SSP5-8.5), consecutive dry days (CDD) may rise 15%, from 10 to 12 days annually by 2060. Very heavy precipitation days (R20mm) could increase by 25%, from 11 to 14 days. These trends pose dual risks: drought and heightened flooding. Adaptation strategies are critical to address threats to agriculture, infrastructure, and public health in vulnerable IMC areas.
