On July 4, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) issued a warning regarding El Nino is back. According to the WMO, there is an estimated 90 percent chance of an El Niño extending into the second half of the year, and it is predicted to be “of at least moderate intensity or higher.”The Beginning of El Nino will significantly increase the likelihood of breaking temperature records and causing more extreme temperatures in many parts of the world and in the oceans,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. The re-emergence of El Nino by WMO is seen as a signal for governments around the world to mobilize preparedness measures to limit the impact of El Nino on people’s health, ecosystems and the economy. Earlier, in early June, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that El Nino conditions had emerged and were “expected to gradually strengthen in the winter in the Northern Hemisphere”. In Southeast Asia, the intense heat spreading across the region in recent weeks has signaled the return of El Nino. Accordingly, Southeast Asian countries will have to prepare to deal with a series of difficulties. Difficulties such as: record heat waves, water shortages, forest fires, toxic haze… Rising temperatures can threaten the agricultural output of Southeast Asian countries because these are the main producing countries. major exporters of palm oil, rice, coffee and other commodities. Meanwhile, the pressure on water and electricity caused by El Nino may affect some of the region’s growing manufacturing industries. In Vietnam, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting forecasts these The record heat wave, drought, saltwater intrusion, and water shortage will continue to happen “on a large scale” in the first months of 2024 when El Nino returns. El Nino is also expected to affect aquatic production. electricity in Southeast Asian countries as well as pushing up energy demand as businesses and homes use air conditioners and other cooling devices. In June, water shortages affected affect the operation of hydropower plants in Vietnam. Accordingly, the situation of power cuts for many hours took place in both residential areas and industrial zones. Before this incident, the electricity industry explained that the power cut was due to unusual heat, and the national power system was not enough. supply capacity, the demand for load increased suddenly.Invite readers to watch the video: Extreme heat, pay attention to warning signs of heat shock

The Beginning of El Nino would greatly increase the likelihood of breaking temperature records and causing more extreme temperatures in many parts of the world and in the oceans,” said WMO Secretary General Petteri Taalas.

In June, water shortages affected the operation of hydropower plants in Vietnam. Accordingly, power cuts for many hours occurred in both residential areas and industrial zones.

Before this incident, the electricity industry explained that the power cut was due to abnormal heat, the national power system was not able to supply enough capacity, and the demand for load increased suddenly.
