ASMC added that there is a higher risk of escalated hot spot activities and transboundary smoke haze in the southern Asean region between June and October than in the last three years, when the region experienced prolonged La Nina conditions.“Early precautionary and mitigation measures are advised to prevent the occurrence of fires and transboundary haze in the region,” added ASMC.

“A few localised smoke plumes were detected in parts of the region on some days in May 2023, but no transboundary smoke haze occurrence has been observed so far,” it said.ASMC also signalled the start of the dry season on Monday. Parts of South-east Asia have already been scorching under record heatwaves since April.

“Since earlier this year, warmer subsurface ocean temperatures have been observed in the eastern tropical Pacific, which is an early sign that support El Nino conditions developing in the next few months.”
