Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The early end of the rainy season, combined with strong El Nino, raises concerns about a potentially challenging dry season. Adverse weather, including strong northeasterly monsoon surges, could pose risks to vessels operating at sea and impact regional agricultural output.

El Nino is currently causing prolonged heatwaves and low rainfall in Southeast Asia, which is impacting global supply chains and weather patterns worldwide.
