The world has reached a crisis point, causing extreme weather conditions for which no solution has been found. May effectively ends the dry season. But the rain will stop for a while. The heat continues until September, it is recommended to work from home to reduce energy
April 27, Dr. Pakorn Petprayoon, Director of the Geoinformatics Innovation Development Office This was revealed by the Geoinformatics and Space Technology Development Agency or JITDAMatichon online that now all over the world Including Thailand Inclement weather occurs which is much more serious than in the past This condition is called Extreme weather conditions are severe fluctuations in every area. The average temperature in each area was originally predicted to be 1.5 degrees Celsius, but now many places have already exceeded that. Overall, the global average temperature is likely to reach 2 degrees Celsius.
When asked what effect the higher average temperature would have, Dr Pakorn replied that this would be in addition to causing drought. The weather is already very hot. This causes sea water to absorb the most heat. When sea water is very warm, it tries to maintain its balance by releasing energy, that is, evaporating a lot, the result is that it causes violent thunderstorms and heavy rain. This type of extreme weather has already occurred in many areas. And it is likely that there will be even more violence. The sea temperature Especially in the ocean, if it exceeds 27 or 28 degrees Celsius, which it has now exceeded. It has the effect of causing rain. And there are very violent storms. Sea temperature has a huge effect on climate change. Even just an increase of 0.5 degrees Celsius will have an effect. If it increases more, it will consequently become more severe.
“What scientists around the world are very worried about right now is At the poles, right now, the ice sheets covering the surface of the water have almost completely melted. Now the great ice is about to melt. This phenomenon will greatly affect the ecosystem. Both regarding some minerals and aquatic animals, which scientists are following closely,” Dr. Pakorn said.
When asked about the weather right now How hot will it be? How hot can it get? Dr. Pakorn said that right now there are 2 things: the actual temperature and the temperature we feel. The actual temperature is around 40-41 degrees Celsius. Sometimes the perceived temperature can reach 50 degrees Celsius, but in reality it is not that high. In this period Thailand has already passed the hottest period.
Dr. Pakorn said this is a change. What scientists are still confused about is that at this time El Niño has started to become neutral. Normally there will be a build-up of energy for 1-2 years, becoming La Niña. But what is about to happen is When El Niño It will immediately switch to La Niña, that is, temperatures on the Pacific coast will be lower than normal by about 0.5 degrees Celsius.
“El Niño in Thailand is expected to end in May. But that doesn’t mean that The heat will end The heat is still there because from May to June there will be a period of rain, which means there will be a continuous drought. Maybe until September. Until October,” Dr. Pakorn said.
When asked whether all this is enough to have a solution and cope with extreme weather conditions, Dr. Pakorn said that the best answer is is an adjustment. Because I have to admit that we have not solved much of the problem. This adjustment must be managed well. Do it systematically together, like farmers who adapt cultivation. You may need to adjust the planting time. or plant suitable plants that use less water As for the general public You may need to make some changes to your daily lifestyle, such as working from home or working from home, reducing travel to save energy. This helps a lot, etc.
