Severe flash flooding across Asia continues to wreak havoc. Hong Kong recorded its highest August rainfall since 1884, coinciding with devastating floods in India’s Uttarakhand, southern China, and Pakistan. In Pakistan, researchers estimate that climate change intensified the flooding by about 15%. Despite a slight dip in global temperatures, the 12-month period ending July 2025 still averages a 1.53 °C rise above pre-industrial levels.
