A 'super' El Nino is threatening Asia's food supply, causing fear among farmers in northern Thailand, particularly cacao growers like Koranut Rattanayanyong, who warn of potential crop devastation due to unpredictable weather patterns. The climate event, marked by a 2.5°C ocean heat spike in the Pacific, has begun forming, exacerbating concerns over agricultural stability.

The Chief Minister urged changes in crop cultivation strategies to adapt to El Nino conditions, emphasizing crop diversification, a shift to natural farming, and increased pulse cultivation due to high market demand.

El Nino's impact on the monsoon is expected to negatively affect the cardamom sector. The monsoon's disruption raises concerns for the industry.

The Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be less active than usual, with 8-14 named storms and 1-3 major hurricanes, but concerns persist over federal response capabilities due to proposed funding cuts to agencies like FEMA. Experts warn that reduced federal support could weaken states' ability to handle severe weather events, particularly as the Trump administration's cuts have strained infrastructure and personnel.

El Nino is causing hotter, drier weather in Southeast Asia, disrupting rice and palm-oil production. Households in the region are facing increased costs for fuel, food, and transport.
