Weatherman says current hot weather in Thailand does not qualify as a heat wave

13 Sept 13:49 Key points summarised by AI

The Thai Meteorological Department clarifies that the current hot weather is not a "heat wave," but rather caused by a persistent low-pressure cell typical for the dry season.
Temperatures are projected to reach up to 43°C, with some regions already recording highs like 44.6°C, matching previous records.
Another period of hot weather is anticipated in June due to the moderate El Nino phenomenon, which will also result in less rain across the country.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
