Typhoon Kalmaegi rampages across Vietnam as the Philippines prepares for a new storm

Typhoon Kalmaegi's Impact Across Vietnam and the Philippines

Typhoon Kalmaegi caused severe winds and heavy rains in Vietnam, resulting in at least five deaths and extensive damage to thousands of homes before weakening to a tropical storm. Vietnam experienced widespread flooding and destruction, particularly in its central provinces.

In the Philippines, the typhoon claimed at least 188 lives. The country is now preparing for another incoming storm.

Scientists warn that climate warming is amplifying the intensity of storms and rainfall in Southeast Asia, making floods and typhoons both more frequent and more destructive.
