Thailand is susceptible to the effects of El Nino, which is forecast by the Department of Meteorology and weather experts to commence in June.
The world, Thailand included, is expected to face an intense drought due to the occurrence of El Nino, leading to reduced rainfall during the rainy season, or possibly no rain at all.
Varawut said that heatwaves tend to mostly hit Europe, but had yet to occur in Asia until now. This year’s extreme heat underlined growing global warming concerns and has made it even more important to recognise the need to reduce plastic wastes and industrial air pollutants. As global temperatures rise, temperature changes will be less pronounced, leading to more intense heatwaves. Wherever the temperatures rise, severe drought conditions will occur, resulting in even higher temperatures, Varawut said.
Measures should be taken now to cope with future flooding and provide adequate support for the El Nino phenomenon, which will intensify. Thailand must be prepared to tackle the heatwave trend and severe drought risk.
