Heavy rain in Semarang on 1 January 2020 caused flooding. The existence of heavy rain cannot be separated from the dynamics of weather parameters which are closely related to the convection process and cloud formation. In this paper research has been conducted using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF), to analyze the growth patterns of convective clouds as an effort to mitigate the initial events of extreme rainfall disasters. Several weather parameters that support cloud growth are very significant, namely the parameter values that support the convection process to form convective clouds (Cumulonimbus). The results of the model show that there has been extreme rainfall which can be used as initial mitigation of hydrometeorological disasters.
