Warmer weather due to quakes
THE recent earthquakes and aftershocks were among the factors that led to the recent rise in temperature in Malaysia, reported Sin Chew Daily.
The daily quoted a source from the Meteorological Department as saying that the recent earthquakes had caused more carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere, which caused a warming effect.
“If the temperature continues to increase, it will bring about the El-Nino effect,” said the source.
Prior to the earthquakes, the department had forecast rain for this month and May.
According to the source, carbon dioxide could “lock in” the heat from the sun, which would affect global temperatures.
However, he said, the temperature was still considered to be normal.
The average temperature in the country now is between 24°C and 37°C.
China Press reported that many Malaysians who visited Thailand had been cheated into buying low-quality jewellery.
The daily said the sellers either mixed these items with some high-quality jewellery or switched the jewellery that had been selected by the customers with items of lower quality.
