ENSO Neutral Conditions Prevailed in February with Neutral to El Nino Conditions Most Likely in March to August 2025
March 11, 2025 - Model outlooks from Copernicus C3S based on the Nino3.4 SST index, show that ENSO Neutral conditions prevailed in February and is predicted to continue to become ENSO neutral to El Nino (dry in Southeast Asia) from March to August 2025.
Widespread Fire Activity Across South and Southeast Asia, Southern China and Northern Australia Captured by NASA Satellites (March 1-11, 2025)
March 11, 2025 - Satellite imagery from NASA Worldview reveals extensive fire hotspots across South and Southeast Asia, Southern China and Northern Australia. The dense clustering of red dots, indicating active fires, suggests significant biomass burning, likely tied to forest fires, seasonal agricultural practices and land clearing. This widespread fire activity poses potential risks to air quality, with smoke and PM2.5 pollutants possibly affecting millions across the region. The patterns highlight areas of concern for transboundary haze and regional pollution impacts.
