Indonesians brave choking smoke to pray for rain as country battles wildfires
Confirmed
Jack's tent made it through Thursday's early morning rain dry enough but not all of his friends were so lucky "One of our tents did get a little bit flooded," he said. A long queue was spotted for the boat service that transports attendees down the Thames to the festival site Tabby, who is attending the festival for the first time with friends Evie, Issy and Ellie, said the change in weather was not something they had prepared for.
He also said the public prayer would complement ongoing firefighting and drought-mitigation measures and serve as a moment for residents to unite in confronting the environmental challenges facing the province. "We have done everything we can and worked closely with all relevant parties," South Sumatra Gov. Herman Deru said before the prayer.
He said he expects mud will be something attendees will need to contend with this year. Having attended 2025's festival, he said dust across a dry site was an issue.
