A three-day Muscat workshop is bringing authorities and sectors together to review climate scenarios, priorities, gaps and needs. The process must turn the national framework into responsibilities, investments and indicators for water, agriculture, health, coasts and infrastructure.
Interviews with 530 actors in five countries found a 39–53% overlap between current use and stated needs. The result indicates that many demands require stronger existing services, while the gaps reveal specific opportunities for innovation.
A study projects that at 2°C of global warming, uncompensable heat stress could affect 60% of India in summer and 53% during the monsoon. Humidity reduces the effectiveness of sweating, requiring changes to warnings, work, health care and energy systems.
The projected October–December peak would arrive at the end of the dry season, with low rivers, flammable vegetation and delayed rains. It raises drought and fire risks into early 2027, although intensity and local impacts are not yet determined.

The update cited by UOL assigns a 69% chance that the RONI index reaches at least +2.5°C in October–December. Pacific warming is real, but “super El Niño” is not a WMO operational category and no seasonal forecast determines local weather on its own.
The government called for conservation ahead of a possible drought as regions already endure power cuts of up to ten hours and intermittent water. Experts warn the climate phenomenon would be an aggravating factor, not the cause of a grid weakened by years of underinvestment and delayed maintenance.
The official toll reached 100 deaths on August 10 while several rivers remained above danger levels. More than 700,000 people have been displaced since July; at least 49,000 were still in 125 camps and distribution centers amid an unstable recovery.

An analysis published by la diaria argues that historical averages are no longer enough to design cities, infrastructure and productive systems exposed to shifting extremes. The answer is not to abandon forecasting, but to combine probabilistic scenarios, adaptation, restored ecosystems and emissions cuts.
Yangsan reached 42.5°C, the highest reading in 122 years of South Korean observations, as extreme heat spread toward Seoul and western regions. South Korea reported 14 deaths and 1,889 heat-related illnesses since mid-May.
