中新网伦敦10月9日电 (记者 欧阳开宇)英国环境署10月9日宣布约克郡正式进入干旱状态,当地水库与河流水位偏低,近期降雨尚不足以弥补春夏降水短缺造成的水资源缺口。

今年7月底约克郡已被划定为长期干燥天气区域。此次升级干旱状态后,约克郡与英格兰中、南、东部一同处于干旱状态,英格兰东北部、西北部仍维持长期干燥天气。数据显示,今年4至9月为约克郡史上第五干旱时段,河流水流量、地下水位已达到干旱发布触发条件,官员表示短期降雨无法快速缓解旱情,当地将启动干旱预案。

英国国家干旱工作组改为每周开会,统筹政府、气象、水务、农业及环保各方协同处置,督促水务企业落实干旱预案,抢修管网漏水、压低用水需求,并计划通过水法案新建9座大型水库,提升长期供水抗风险能力。

受气候变化影响,英国近五年已遭遇2022、2025、2026三次干旱,高温少雨夏季和强降雨冬季变得更为常见,干旱与洪涝甚至可能同时发生。研究测算,未来七个月英格兰需达到常年120%的降雨量,全境才能解除干旱。

National Day fireworks are on tonight! Meteorologist Lin Deen revealed the best viewing spots in Taitung and Taipei: Remember to bring a light jacket

Lin De'en, a doctor of atmospheric sciences at the National Taiwan University, posted a National Day fireworks viewing guide on his Facebook page. He pointed out that the fireworks will be launched at 8pm on the south side of the Beinan River outlet in Taitung City. It is recommended that the area around the International Landmark of the Seaside Park or the southern seawall of Fugang Fishing Port be the best viewing spots. The Taipei 101 National Day display is scheduled to be held at 10pm. The recommended viewing spots are near the Civic Plaza in front of the Taipei City Hall or the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Lin Deen reminded that although the temperature is hot during the day, there is still a chill in the morning and evening. It is recommended to bring a thin jacket to avoid catching a cold.

Lack of heat action plan leaves Hong Kong’s vulnerable residents at risk, experts warn

New research from the University of Hong Kong found that extreme heat may have contributed to as many as 3,238 excess deaths in the city over the past decade. Environmentalists and academics criticized the absence of a systemic heat-health action plan in Hong Kong’s first five-year plan and latest policy address, warning that relying on 'common sense' fails to protect vulnerable residents from rising temperatures.

A super strong El Niño has formed. How to prepare and respond?

Monitoring by the National Climate Center shows that a super strong El Niño has formed in September 2026. It is expected that sea surface temperatures will continue to rise in the next three months, with a peak value of 3.2~3.5°C, which will become the strongest El Niño since monitoring records began. Experts point out that El Niño does not directly create extreme weather but will increase the probability of extreme events. This winter is likely to be warmer, but strong cold waves are not ruled out. The impact will be greater in spring and summer next year. It is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of extreme, sudden changes, abnormal weather and vulnerable areas.
