Claim: An online article said the Southeast Asian country experienced cooler temperatures in July 2018 because the Earth was at its most distant from the sun -- an annual point in its orbit called aphelion. Indonesian space and meteorological officials said the lower-than-average temperatures were in fact a regular occurrence during the dry season as colder air gets pushed up from the southern hemisphere.
Fact-check: No, the annual aphelion point in Earth's orbit is not causing cooler temperatures in Indonesia
