However, the former Senyar Tropical Cyclone can still have an indirect impact on extreme weather in the form of moderate to heavy rain in the Riau Islands.Apart from that, this low pressure system also triggered sea waves of 1.25-2.5 meters in the waters of Natuna, Anambas, Subi-Serasan and North Natuna Seas.
Previously, Tropical Cyclone Senyar which formed in the Malacca Strait caused an increase in rain intensity in the Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra regions.
