Field notes
Tropical (Central Java) — defined wet/dry pattern. Wet season (October–March, 26°C average) brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms. Dry season (April–September, 25–26°C average) is the postcard working window with bright sun and humidity dropping to 72%. Mount Merapi (the active volcano 25km north) is the structural climate risk.
