[SMM Nickel Flash News] Weekly Weather Outlook (July 27–August 1)

Indonesia's major nickel-producing regions are expected to experience generally manageable weather conditions, with Central Sulawesi forecast to receive 25–50 mm of rainfall, Southeast Sulawesi 30–60 mm, and Morowali 30–45 mm, posing minimal disruption to mining and logistics. Halmahera is expected to remain the wettest region with 120–170 mm of rainfall, which may cause temporary interruptions to mining, hauling, and port operations during heavier showers. In the Philippines, Zambales is forecast to receive 90–130 mm of rainfall, increasing the risk of localized delays to mining and vessel loading, while Surigao is expected to receive a relatively lower 40–70 mm, allowing operations to remain largely unaffected. Overall, weather-related impacts on nickel ore supply are expected to remain limited, with only localized operational disruptions in the wetter regions.
