00:00Snow in the desert, heavy rain, and wildfire engulfed by strong winds.
00:15These are just a few of the events that are happening at the same time in different parts of the world from 2024 to the first days of 2025
00:24that are said to be the culmination of climate change or a changing climate.
00:28Ian Cruz is on the scene.
00:34The blackening of the dark, the intense red that surrounds Los Angeles, America
00:40due to the two extensive wildfires that have been raging for three nights.
00:45Almost 10,000 houses and structures have been engulfed by raging fire.
00:51The situation that is causing the strong winds called Santa Ana Winds.
00:57In this video, you can see how strong the wind is.
01:04It's making the fire bigger and bringing a small storm to other places that are starting new fires.
01:13The fire is not chosen.
01:16Even the houses of celebrities, like singer-actress Mandy Moore, were engulfed by the fire.
01:22Although it has calmed down now, officials are worried about the strong winds and the continuation of the red flag conditions.
01:31The conditions resulted in what is considered the most intense wildfires in the history of Los Angeles,
01:39the so-called result of climate change.
01:42Southwestern United States has been experiencing the driest conditions for more than two decades
01:49because the plants die in the mountains and get burned more easily.
01:55The moisture is drifting away from them, so it becomes dry.
01:58Since they come from very hot temperatures during the summer months,
02:03when the so-called autumn comes in those mid-latitude countries,
02:08the leaves dry up.
02:10When the cold comes, its effect becomes dry in other parts.
02:16Therefore, it is more favorable to the so-called wildfires.
02:22If California is on fire, then Namingsala in Saudi Arabia is also on fire.
02:29You can see it in this video where it was flown and blown away by the strong winds of the luggage containers
02:37at Jeddah Airport on January 6,
02:40along with the plentiful of bad weather in Mecca,
02:44which is considered the Muslim's holiest city.
02:47Many were drowned in the flood.
02:49Before that, it snowed for the first time in the desert in Saudi Arabia.
02:55November also experienced heavy snow in Seoul, South Korea,
02:59which, according to the authorities there, is the heaviest on record.
03:03But if heavy snow was experienced in South Korea,
03:06in Japan, the first snowfall in Mount Fuji was observed on November 7.
03:13According to the Japan Meteorological Agency,
03:16this is the last snowfall in 130 years of observation.
03:22Here in the Philippines, if El Niño or Tagtuyot was the first semester of the century,
03:28La Niña, which will bring the rainy season, will be the first quarter of 2025, according to the forecast.
03:36No wildfires were recorded from January to March of 2024,
03:39but this year, there may be a single wildfire in the said months.
03:44The heavy rains will be experienced in the eastern section of the country,
03:49including Quezon, Aurora, Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Northern and Eastern Mindanao,
03:55along with Davao Region.
03:57We still need to be prepared for all possible floods,
04:01flash floods, and heavy rains.
04:04As the forecast explains, La Niña is the condition of cold in the middle
04:09and the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, or the one near the continent of America.
04:14But the ocean near the Philippines is hot,
04:17that's why there are floods.
04:19It is possible that climate change or a new climate will affect La Niña.
04:25This is the natural cycle of our climate system.
04:28What's happening is that the impact of this is increasing,
04:32like global warming as a result of climate change.
04:36At the end of La Niña, at the end of the first quarter,
04:40it is expected that the record-breaking heat index of the country's dry season
04:46will reach the second quarter of the year.
04:48It is not as severe as we can experience,
04:51because last year, we had a strong El Nino.
04:54It is possible that the usual,
04:56that we can still record a hot temperature,
04:59but it is not that record-breaking.
05:01Back to the heavy rains,
05:03the third quarter of the year, or the dry season,
05:06is also when a lot of floods come in.
05:09And in the fourth quarter,
05:11it is still expected that the floods will hit the land.
05:15These are the signs of landfalling and crossing of our floods.
05:20So, it means that our floods will be severe
05:24when the last quarter comes,
05:26even if there is El Nino, even if there is no El Nino or La Niña.
05:3018 floods were recorded in the Philippines in 2024,
05:35including the super-flood Karina in July
05:39and the Christine flood that hit Luzon in October.
05:43As of 2025, it is expected that 17 to 19 floods will hit the country.
05:49For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Horas.
