It is increasing "the "variability" of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation" creating both stronger El Niño and La Niña events. [4] Climate change may also cause changes in the jet streams that probably contributed to the heat waves. Warming in certain Arctic regions makes the jet stream weaker and wavier, causing different weather patterns to ...
Research on how marine heatwaves influence atmospheric conditions is emerging. Marine heatwaves in the tropical Indian Ocean are found to result in dry conditions over the central Indian subcontinent. [50] At the same time, there is an increase in rainfall over south peninsular India in response to marine heatwaves in the northern Bay of Bengal.
The National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) worked with local agencies to carry out three days of cloud seeding in water catchment areas of Papar, Lahad Datu, and Tawau to increase river water levels and meet domestic needs around Sabah.
The heat wave entailed wildfires in Alberta, record temperatures across Canada and the US, and over 100 deaths in Mexico. The heat also accelerated snow melt in mountain ranges, causing flooding and mudslides. According to scientists, climate change increased the strength of the 2023 heatwaves including in North America. [3] [4] [5]
In the same week, temperatures in the northern and central regions remained above 46 °C (115 °F), resulting in an increase in power demand. [29] A May study by the World Weather Attribution found that Thailand's record heat wave was exacerbated by high humidity and a large number of forest fires that occurred around the same time.

Map of increasing heatwave trends (frequency and cumulative intensity) over the midlatitudes and Europe, July–August 1979–2020 [44] Heatwaves over land have become more frequent and more intense in almost all world regions since the 1950s, due to climate change. Heat waves are more likely to occur simultaneously with droughts.
Increasing investments in R&D, advancements in fiber technology, and demand for sustainable solutions are transforming the industry. With the rising adoption of smart textiles, fire-resistant materials, antimicrobial fabrics, and biodegradable fibers, technical textiles are at the forefront of modern industrial evolution.
Overview of climatic changes and their effects on the ocean. Regional effects are displayed in italics. [1] This NASA animation conveys Earth's oceanic processes as a driving force among Earth's interrelated systems. There are many effects of climate change on oceans. One of the most important is an increase in ocean temperatures.
