Anak Krakatau Eruption Shuts Indonesian Airports, Disrupts Hundreds Of Flights

Indonesia halted operations at six airports Sunday, including the main international airport near Jakarta, the capital, disrupting hundreds of flights after the Anak Krakatau volcano spewed ash high into the atmosphere.

The eruption produced fountains of lava and booming sounds that Indonesia’s geological agency said could be heard as far as 700 kilometers (435 miles) away. Authorities recorded two additional eruptions Sunday.

Dramatic video footage reviewed by Worthy News appeared to show glowing lava fountains shooting from the volcano during the eruption. Indonesian geological authorities confirmed that Anak Krakatau was producing sustained lava fountains, although Worthy News could not independently verify the origin of the widely shared footage.

Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said volcanic ash reached about 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) on the Java side of Anak Krakatau and as high as 15,000 meters (49,000 feet) toward Sumatra and parts of Banten province.

Anak Krakatau, whose Indonesian name means “Child of Krakatau,” stands in the Sunda Strait between the densely populated islands of Java and Sumatra...

The volcano began emerging from the sea within the massive volcanic crater, or caldera, left by the catastrophic 1883 eruption of Krakatau, one of the deadliest volcanic disasters in recorded history.

The eruption and resulting tsunamis killed more than 36,000 people, while material blasted high into the atmosphere contributed to a measurable decline in global temperatures. U.S. government scientists say temperatures fell by as much as about 0.5 degrees Celsius (0.9 Fahrenheit) in the year following the eruption, with atmospheric effects lingering for several years.

Tokyo sets a new record with 34 straight days of rain:

Central Tokyo set a new record for most consecutive rainy days with 34 on Tuesday, according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

Tokyo has received an unusually high amount of rain throughout the year and the month of September. Through Monday, Tokyo had recorded 629 mm of precipitation in September, the second highest for the month since recordkeeping began in 1875. The total rainfall for the year through Sept. 28 was 1,949.5 mm, which already is the third highest in a year since 1951.

The prolonged rain has also led to historically low levels of sunlight. Over the past month, central Tokyo received 46.8 total hours of sunshine, which is just 36% of the yearly average for the same period.
