The aspect of potato cultivation well known to most farmers is closely related to the climatology of the cultivated site. Therefore, this study aims to obtain the basic information on climatic change in potato cultivation quality using the LEISA system or in potato cultivation, compost is used as fertilizer at a dose of 10-30 tonnes/ha. The experiment was designed based on four treatments namely, (1) cultivation in normal weather conditions from April - June 2019, (2) in foggy air conditions from July to September 2019, (3) in extremely hot conditions from October to December 2019, and (4) in extremely rainy conditions from January to March 2020. The parameters observed were (1) microclimates around the plants, (2) the condition of the growing media depth 0-30 cm, (3) plant growth, and (4) productivity. The changes from normal to foggy, extremely rainy, and hot weather had impacts on soil temperature by 22.1±5.2%, 8.6±2.2%, and 10.3±5.9% respectively. In extremely hot and rainy weather, the cation exchange capacity (CEC) value was low by 22.1±0.16 and 23.8±0.21 meq/100g of dry soil. The extremely hot, rainy, and foggy weather reduced the productivity of potato plants by 32.13–60.2%, 19.5– 43.0%, and 16.7–18.0% respectively. In addition, they also reduced the quality of potato tubers by 19.9–94.7%, 26.0–62.9%, and 8.8–15.9% respectively.
