End of Dry Season for the Mekong sub-region
The persistent wet weather over the Mekong sub-region in recent days has continued to suppress the overall hotspots and smoke haze situation in the sub-region. Based on the NOAA-20 satellite surveillance, a total of 7 and 27 hotspots were detected in the Mekong sub-region on 19 and 20 May 2025 respectively.
In the coming months, shower activities are forecast to continue, which should keep the hotspot and smoke haze situation subdued over the Mekong sub-region.
