Its administrative centre is in the large town of Sukoharjo, about 10 km south of Surakarta; the built-up area of the town had 324,214 inhabitants at the 1990 Census. This regency is bordered by the city of Surakarta in the north, Karanganyar Regency in the east, Wonogiri Regency and the Special Region of Yogyakarta in the south as well as Klaten Regency in the west. The regency is part of the metropolitan zone of Surakarta, which is known as Subosukawonosraten.
Geography
The Solo River (known in Indonesian as Bengawan Solo) "divides" this regency into two parts. The northwestern part is commonly lowland and wavy, forming the catchment area of Surakarta city, while the southeastern part is mountainous.
Near the northern border are the suburban areas surrounding Surakarta City such as Grogol, Baki, Gatak, and Kartasura, while the whole regency lies 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.
