Climate Change Intensified Deadly Monsoon Floods Across Asia, Scientists Say
New climate studies confirm that rising global temperatures intensified monsoon flooding across South and Southeast Asia, increasing deaths, displacement, and infrastructure damage in vulnerable regions.
Current analysis carried out by scientists lends support to the belief of many existing communities in Asia in that Asia is increasingly being threatened by floods during monsoons due to climate change. In 2025, very heavy rainfall devastated Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Warmer air can support more water vapor, resulting in higher rainfall intensity. Flooding in cities, which has accelerated because of rapid urbanization and inadequate infrastructure, has thus become more deadly because of these factors. Scientists have indicated that without curtailing greenhouse gas emissions, such flooding will become a frequent occurrence.
SDG Impact: While this article focuses on the importance of SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, it sheds light on how climate change affects the poorest people in a negative way, which undermines SDG 1: No Poverty.
