Heavy monsoon rains have caused massive flooding and landslides in some regions of South Asia. More than 365 people have already died, and many more are missing.

The floodwaters swept away houses and people, destroying entire villages. Rescue workers are facing major challenges due to the destruction of infrastructure, especially in remote mountainous areas.

This year's monsoon is particularly severe. However, there is also criticism from the population, especially regarding the lack of warnings, inadequate preparation and failed evacuation measures.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
