Filipino Student Struggles with Heat During Homework

Filipino student Daryl Siongco doing his homework at home in Quezon City, while his nanny dries his sweat, amid the warm weather on April 2.

The second-grader, who has asthma, told The Straits Times that staying in school during the summer months of March to May was difficult because the classroom he shares with 39 other pupils has only two electric fans. Though the phenomenon has begun to weaken, it will continue to fuel above-average temperatures across the globe, the World Meteorological Organisation said on March 5.

Recurring bush fires have also been recorded in the states of Selangor, Johor and Sarawak, with the disaster management agency saying that the fire and rescue department plans to focus on more than 650 hot spots nationwide to prevent more bush fires from breaking out. “Due to the hot spell, we have also had bush fires. Luckily for me, my homestay business was not impacted because of repeat customers,” she said.Vegetable and fish farmers in Malaysia enjoy great yield with prolonged dry spell
