Erratic Rainfall, High Temperatures, Pests Hit Assam Tea Production
Tea production in Assam was adversely impacted in Assam as erratic rainfall in June and high temperatures in July affected the current crop. In the two century-old gardens in Assam's Dibrugarh district, tea planters said temperatures soared up to 36 degrees Celsius and dipped to 26 degrees Celsius at night in July, impacting the health of the crop. Across the around 850 tea gardens registered in Assam, rain deficit played spoilsport last month. In June, the rainfall was erratic, causing a 12 per cent drop in tea production for the month of June 2025 compared to June 2024, as per Madhurjya Baruah, Secretary of Assam Branch India Tea Assam (ABITA) Zone - I. This was also due to a 50 per cent deficit in rainfall. The heat combined with low rainfall dealt a double blow to tea production, Sarvesh Saharia, the Chairman of Bharatiya Cha Parishad (BCP), told NDTV. "First, it stresses the tea bushes. Second, it's creating ideal conditions for pests-especially red spider mites, which are causing serious damage in some pockets. On top of that, we're also seeing increased pressure from thrips, looper caterpillars and green flies," he said. Tea producers now hope for favourable weather in August and September in order to see production return to normal levels.

UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring
By AbdelHadi Ramahi UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring Aug 4 - The United Arab Emirates is facing surging temperatures this summer after its hottest spring ever, with temperatures soaring close to record highs at the start of August, according to data from the National Centre of Meteorology . The extreme heat in the Gulf country is part of a broader global trend, as rising temperatures continue to reach new heights. Last year was the hottest ever recorded worldwide when global temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial era levels. The temperature surge followed the UAE's hottest April and May on record, the NCM said. On August 1, the temperature in the desert town of Sweihan hit 51.8 C , the highest since 2021, the NCM said. This was just shy of the UAE's all-time high of 52.1 C set in July 2002, also in Sweihan. Inland areas repeatedly experienced daily temperatures above 50 C in June and July, while seaside urban centres like Dubai and Abu Dhabi consistently posted highs in the mid-forties. The NCM expects the rest of the summer to remain hotter than usual, forecasting August temperatures 0.25 C to 0.5 C above average. While the NCM has warned residents to limit sun exposure and avoid being outdoors during peak hours, such precautions aren't always possible for those in outdoor industries, like construction and agriculture. "We are whining while sitting in the air-condition... they are working actually 24/7 in this heat," said Yasir Shahad, a visitor from Australia.
