Java Island, which has a monsoon climate, is highly vulnerable to seasonal changes influenced by climate change. Accurate predictions about the start and end of the rainy and dry seasons are crucial. This study aims to determine the future distribution of rainfall patterns and project changes in the onset and end of the rainy season on Java Island using climate model data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), and a model weighting process was also carried out. Model performance was evaluated using the Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) metric, Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), and the Empirical Quantile Mapping (EQM) bias correction method. The analysis results show that rainfall in the future is projected to decrease during the MFR period and then increase during the FFR period. Additionally, the dry season is projected to become shorter, with the rainy season starting earlier compared to normal conditions over the past ten years. The western and central parts of Java have wetter conditions compared to the eastern part. The findings of this research can be used to improve understanding of climate dynamics and the potential impacts of seasonal changes in the future, so policymakers in the Java region need to implement adequate adaptation and prevention measures.
