Skills bmkg-monitor

Monitoring earthquake, weather, and tsunami data in Indonesia using BMKG official data. Use when the user asks about earthquakes, weather forecasts, weather warnings, felt tremors, tsunami potential, or seismic events in Indonesia.

BMKG Monitor

Monitor and analyze seismic activity, weather, and natural hazard warnings in Indonesia using real-time data from BMKG (Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika).

Quick Start

# Earthquake
python3 scripts/get_data.py latest              # Latest significant earthquake
python3 scripts/get_data.py felt                 # Earthquakes felt by people
python3 scripts/get_data.py recent               # Recent M5.0+ earthquakes
python3 scripts/get_data.py detail <EVENT_ID>    # Moment tensor & phase data
python3 scripts/get_data.py shakemap             # Shakemap image URL
python3 scripts/get_data.py tsunami              # Filter for tsunami potential

# Weather
python3 scripts/get_data.py weather <ADM4_CODE>  # 3-day forecast for location
python3 scripts/get_data.py warnings             # Active severe weather warnings

# Options
python3 scripts/get_data.py felt --json          # Raw JSON output (any command)
python3 scripts/get_data.py help                 # List all commands

ADM4 Codes (Weather)

Weather forecasts use kelurahan/desa administrative codes (format:

XX.XX.XX.XXXX
). Examples:

  • 31.71.03.1001
    — Kemayoran, Jakarta Pusat
  • 35.07.01.1001
    — Surabaya area
  • Find codes via Kepmendagri No. 100.1.1-6117/2022.

Workflows

1. "Was there a quake?"

Run

felt
first — includes smaller, shallow quakes that people actually feel. If they want the big one, run
latest
.

2. Significant Earthquake Analysis

When a major quake occurs:

  1. Run
    latest
    to get details.
  2. Run
    shakemap
    to get the MMI shakemap image URL.
  3. Use references/seismology.md to explain magnitude, depth classification, MMI intensity, and fault type.
  4. Run
    tsunami
    to check if any events have tsunami potential.

3. Weather Check

For weather questions, use

weather <adm4_code>
. Shows next 3 forecast periods with temperature, humidity, condition, wind, and visibility.

4. Active Weather Warnings

Run

warnings
to see current nowcast alerts — severe rain, thunderstorms, strong winds across Indonesian provinces. Refer to the "Weather Warning Severity" section in
references/seismology.md
for urgency/severity/certainty meanings.

5. Moment Tensor / Beach Ball Analysis

If a detailed BMKG report includes a moment tensor diagram, refer to the "Moment Tensor" section in

references/seismology.md
to identify Strike-Slip, Normal, or Thrust faulting.
