Weather Disruptions and Environmental Impact

Adding to the complexity are the increasingly frequent and severe storms. Malaysia’s meteorological department reports that climate change—driven by global warming—is causing more intense thunderstorms and unpredictable weather patterns. From 1981 to 2021, Malaysia has experienced a steady rise in average temperatures by 0.02°C annually. Warmer temperatures lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in heavier storms and disrupted fishing activities.
