LATE last month, there were two reports of children in Kelantan — one seven-month old toddler from Kota Baru and an 11-year old boy from Bachok — having succumbed to a heatwave that, till today, is still affecting the world.
Those reports drove home the gravity of the situation as effects from climate change continue to intensify, with temperatures reaching 35° to 37°C.
This weather phenomenon is caused by the flow of warm and cool oceanic currents circulating the planet. Intense heat: The prolonged heatwave has not only caused some parts of land to be dry and cracked but also resulted in the water level at Sungai Kelantan to drop, as seen here from Kampung Pasir, Kuala Krai, Kelantan. — Bernama photo.
