The 2026 fire season in Indonesia is already showing early signs of escalation, as burned areas reached 32,637 hectares by February, 20 times higher than the same period in 2025.
It’s well known that hotter temperatures due to climate change are dangerous to human health. But when paired with high humidity, this intense heat can be especially deadly. These extreme weather events, known as humid heat waves, are rapidly intensifying and increasing in frequency as the world warms.
Heat stress readings shattered records in Singapore, reflecting the world's hottest decade on record according to the World Meteorological Organisation. Over 90 per cent of excess heat is stored in the ocean, data showed.
Singapore's draft adaptation plan will address heat resilience, coastal defence, and water security. Climate scientists and NGOs say the plan must also include nature and the most vulnerable to climate risks in its design.
