Hey folks! Asia's unlucky 2025 rainy season has hit hard. In the past few weeks, relentless rains across South and Southeast Asia have caused floods and landslides, tragically claiming over 1,200 lives. 😥
Why it happened:
Monsoon patterns—paired with shifting weather due to climate change—poured record-low drainage capacity. Rivers burst banks, and waterlogged hillsides gave way, sweeping away homes and roads.
Where it struck:
While the crisis spans multiple countries, low-lying river basins and hilly zones saw the worst damage. From bustling outskirts to rural villages, communities have been in rescue-and-relief mode nonstop. 🚑
Impact on daily life:
- Schools and colleges moved classes online.
- Flooded streets paused food deliveries and ride-sharing services.
- Farmers faced crop loss, and local markets struggled to restock.
What’s next:
Be weather-wise: subscribe to official alerts, follow local advisories, and check in on neighbors. To lend a hand, join community WhatsApp groups or trusted crowdfunding drives—every bit counts. 🙏❤️
Stay safe, stay connected, and let’s help each other ride out this storm. 🌈
