The weather has been a little unpredictable lately, with hot swelting temperatures in one moment and rainy wet weather in the next.According to a statement by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, the El Nino weather phenomenon is back, and its strength is expected to increase from the end of 2023 until the beginning of 2024 with a probability of over 90%.
El Nino is a naturally occurring climate pattern associated with the warming of the ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. “It occurs on average every two to seven years, and episodes usually last nine to 12 months. In early 2024, the El Nino phenomenon is expected to have a more significant impact when its intensity peaks, where the country will experience prolonged hot and dry weather.”
“This can cause an increase in temperature and a reduction in rainfall as well as transboundary haze occurrence if the burning of forests and peatlands is not controlled,” MetMalaysia said in the statement.Therefore, MetMalaysia has advised the public not to do open burning and to reduce outdoor activities. “The public must always be aware of weather changes and get the latest weather warning information.
“MetMalaysia constantly monitors the weather conditions throughout the country and will issue a heatwave advisory if the daily maximum temperature reading exceeds 37 degrees Celsius for three consecutive days.” Source: Harian Metro Source: 123RF
