Severe flooding has occurred in Southern Myanmar as a result of prolonged monsoon rains. This is unusual for the region, which is more commonly associated with drought. The worsening flood seasons require a coordinated response. Meanwhile, in the Amazon, Indigenous people are urging Brazil to declare a climate emergency as rivers dry up. This has caused shipping to stall and boats to run aground due to low water levels caused by severe drought. Additionally, a glacial lake burst its bank in India's northeastern state of Sikkim, leading to deadly flash floods that devastated the region after days of torrential rain. In China, the reliance on coal-fired power generation has increased due to a severe reduction in hydroelectric power caused by continued drought in the southern provinces. This transition away from coal will result in 100 job cuts daily through 2035, mostly in China and India, according to a report by Global Energy Monitor. The Rio Negro river, a tributary of the Amazon, has also seen its water levels drop to record lows due to severe drought, leaving a boat and barge carrying trucks and supplies stranded for three weeks.
