Geography

The Solo River (known in Indonesian as Bengawan Solo) "divides" this regency into two parts. The northern part is commonly lowland and wavy, forming the catchment area of Surakarta city, while the southern part is mountainous.

Near the northern border are the suburban areas surrounding Surakarta City such as Grogol, Baki, Gatak, and Kartasura, which lie within the metropolitan area of that city. Kartasura is the junction of the Solo-Yogyakarta track with Solo-Semarang.

Sukoharjo Regency is crossed by the Solo-Wonogiri railway, which re-opened in 2004 after being unused for many years. This railway is one of the most "dangerous" ones in Indonesia because it is located beside the main road without any barrier.

Climate

Sukoharjo has a tropical monsoon climate (Am) with moderate to little rainfall from June to October and heavy rainfall from November to May. The following climate data is for the city of Sukoharjo.
