2 super typhoons, Dujuan and Mujigae just days after each other make for a very busy and powerful typhoon season for the South China Sea. Two super typhoons one after the other just shows how much heat the sea has to dissipate. Mujigae also spawned a rare tornado as it is made landfall. This amazing but devastating sight can be seen caught on camera. Global Warming is raising its destructive head with these weather dramas.
Meanwhile a whole lot of precipitation in China and Taiwan did not help us here in South East Asia, especially in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia as a lack of rain and wind worsened the hazy conditions in many parts of the country to hazardous levels. In Malaysia the government had to close schools and the price of vegetables and chicken have spiked as farmers suffer reduced vegetable productivity from lack of sunlight and and chickens die in the millions breathing the smog. Usually by this time of the year, October, the burning peat in the forests and farmland will be put out by seasonal monsoon rains. But as predicted El Nino has disrupted the monsoon pattern and instead of the usual wet end of year we are in for a drought.
