Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time. Ba-gai-ma-na. Bagaimana. This is followed by udaranya, which in Indonesian is "the weather." Udaranya. U-da-ra-nya. Udaranya. So to recap here, we have bagaimana udaranya. Literally this means "how is the weather." Let's take a look at the last word besok which means "tomorrow." Be-sok. besok.

In most of Indonesia, the temperature can be describe in a word, hot. However there a two distinct seasons in Indonesia and this happens to relate to how much rain falls during these seasons. From October to April is the rainy season while from May to September is the dry season in most regions. However in the dry season, there are maybe some rainy days.
