I was in Yogya during the 1994 eruption.There is no problem in Yogya itself except that the weather became very hot and close before and during the eruption.The old grandmother where I was staying said before the event that because of weather "I think Merapi is going to erupt".The young staff said that she is talking nonsense.But she was certainly right.Don't let it deter you from going to Yogya.Be guided by locals on where to sight see around.
