Heavy rainfall triggered widespread flooding in Indonesia, forcing evacuations and disrupting daily life. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a river overflow led to casualties and destruction of infrastructure. In Angola, intense rains combined with landslides resulted in fatalities. Flooding in Afghanistan worsened humanitarian conditions after a recent earthquake. Climate change is driving the increase in extreme weather events, leading to more frequent and intense rainfall.
