Extreme weather grips Southeast Asian nations - Chinadaily.com.cn
A resident opens a window to his house as he stands in floodwaters from an overflowing river following torrential rain in Mojokerto, East Java Province, Indonesia, on Monday. JUNI KRISWANTO/AFP Southeast Asia is ending the year facing heavy flooding and landslides that risk displacing people, damaging crops and threatening the economic outlook. While the La Nina weather system usually brings heavy rains to the region during the fourth quarter, climate change has intensified typhoons and flash floods this year. Experts said the harsh impact of extreme weather events raises the need for members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to implement climate adaptation and mitigation measures. The ASEAN Specialized Meteorological Centre has forecast a wet season in the months ahead, with "an increased chance of above-normal rainfall" from December to February.

Royboon Rassameethes, director of Thailand's Hydro-Informatics Institute, told the Thai Public Broadcasting Service that flooding in southern Thai provinces may last into the new year before the situation improves. Elyssa Kaur Ludher, a visiting fellow for the Climate Change in Southeast Asia Program at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, said monsoon season in the region usually occurs during the fourth quarter, so heavy rains at the tail end of the year are a normal event. Warmer oceans "However, the severity has increased due to our oceans becoming warmer, bringing more moist air to our region, which is a result of climate change," Ludher said. Khor Yu Leng, director of Singapore-based consultancy Segi Enam Advisors, said climate change is influencing global rainfall variability and cyclonic patterns, leading to an increase in monsoon-related flooding.
