La Nina and warmer oceans heightening extreme flooding in Asia

Experts say devastating flooding in Asia can be attributed, in part, to prolonged La Nina cycles.

#LaNina is a natural climate pattern in which the Pacific Ocean becomes cooler than usual in the east and warmer in the west, causing winds to strengthen and push more warm water and moisture towards Asia.

This pattern loads the atmosphere with extra moisture over Asia that often leads to heavier rainfall and higher flood risk.

This shift changes the weather around the world, especially by making rain-heavy storms and monsoons stronger in countries such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines.

Warmer oceans fuel stronger rain bands around tropical cyclones, and a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture and releases it in more intense bursts.
