Field notes
Tropical equatorial (Java) — defined wet/dry pattern. Wet season (November–April) brings catastrophic flooding regularly; Jakarta is among the world's most flood-vulnerable major cities (and is sinking 25cm/year due to groundwater extraction). Dry season (June–September) is the postcard working window. Air quality is a structural problem.
