Figure 1SEMARANG – Alex (60), a chicken noodle seller in the Padi Raya area of Genuk,
Semarang, said his sales had dropped since early September during this year’s
long dry season. However, he said he still prefers the dry season to the rainy
season because floods force him to close his stall. He has sold chicken noodles
in the area for 30 years.
According
to Alex, the weather this year is hotter than in previous years. He said rain
usually starts falling in September. However, by early October, it had rained
only twice. “This year is much hotter than before,” he
said during the interview.
Alex
said his business had been affected by the hot weather, with fewer customers
coming to his stall. The decline in sales has been his biggest challenge during
this year’s dry season. “Sales have dropped. I only sell 30 to 40 portions a
day,” he said.
Despite the long dry season,
Alex has had no problems with his water supply because he uses water from the
regional water company (PDAM). In some areas, the dry season can cause water
shortages and make daily activities more difficult. However, Alex said his
water supply remained clean and uninterrupted, allowing him to continue his
usual activities.
To
deal with the hot weather, Alex drinks more water and takes jamu, a traditional
herbal drink. He said he would continue his daily activities if the dry season
lasted longer. “The most important thing is to stay healthy, drink enough
water, take jamu and vitamins,” he said.
Although his sales have
decreased, Alex still prefers the dry season to the rainy season. He said the
area often experiences floods, and the water can get very high. When this
happens, he has to close his stall. This
means he cannot sell noodles or earn money for his daily needs.
“When there is a flood, I have to close my stall because the water is
too high. The dry season is better because I can still sell noodles and earn
money for my daily needs,” he said. Alex hopes there will be no floods this
year so he can continue selling noodles.
