Southeast Asian cities looking at temperature increase by nearly 4 C by 2050

Description

Extreme heat is becoming a long-term structural challenge across Southeast Asia, where major cities are projected to experience an average hot-season temperature increase of nearly 4 C in 2050 as compared to 2025 levels.

A report released last month by the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), a Jakarta-based regional intergovernmental organization that supports energy cooperation among the 10 ASEAN member states, projected much higher average temperatures along with an increase in the frequency of extreme heat days in the coming years.
