◇Anchor> It seems that the article is related to the climate crisis. It’s really hot this summer, people are already saying things like this, but I used the expression “monster heat wave” in an article.
◆Lee Hyun-woong> Yes. This is an article on the front page of the Hankook Ilbo. According to the Thai media yesterday, most cities in Thailand have been experiencing the worst heat wave ever, exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, for the third week. In addition, it is said that the humidity is high, so the feel temperature is over 50 degrees. It is said that Bangkok, which is popular with Koreans, recorded 52.7 degrees and Phuket, 51.5 degrees. In Vietnam, the temperature in Thanh Hoa recently rose to 44.1 degrees Celsius, breaking the record high. Also, in Malaysia, where a heatwave warning was issued with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees, even children dying from heat stroke and dehydration occur outside, and there are claims that non-face-to-face classes should be held.
◇Anchor> I can’t really imagine it when they say it’s 40 degrees or 50 degrees, but I wonder if it’s dangerous to my health and life. However, among Asian countries, there are some countries where the rainy season starts from May. Doesn’t that make the heat a little bit better?
◆Lee Hyun-woong> However, uncertainty has increased due to climate change. This year, as El Niño overlapped, rainfall decreased and temperatures rose, making it the worst heat wave. Now, as drinking water and agricultural water are drying up, there is an emergency. Although each country is operating emergency measures, the threat of ‘monster heat waves’ such as drought and fire is formidable. Many of you may be planning a trip to Asia for a holiday or vacation. Be sure to check the local weather conditions in advance.
◇Anchor> Travelers are also a problem, and I don’t think Korea is an exception now. This is the part I’m already worried about.
