This database was created with in-situ data from Indonesian stations with high quality records, mostly continuous. All data are available at http://dataonline.bmkg.go.id - an online database developed by the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics of the Republic of Indonesia (BMKG).

Daily rain accumulation, average humidity, average temperature and sunshine duration between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2020 were obtained from 96 stations located on Sumatra (27), Java (31), Borneo (17) and Sulawesi (21).
