There was a cool breeze around the farmland and streets in Gopalan hamlet, Borobudur village, Magelang, Central Java, following light rain in the morning. Rain had been felt since Thursday (16/11) morning in Magelang and its surrounding areas.

Fog continued to cover Menoreh hill. Rice fields were seen in the distance on the left side. In the south, Borobudur temple was visible. Several residents rushed to get on their bicycles and greet the runners, who that morning, tried the track for the 10-kilometer Bank Jateng Borobudur Marathon (BJBM) 2017 slated for Sunday morning.
