Super Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm to hit Asia in over a decade, caused widespread devastation across Southeast Asia. It made landfall in southern China’s Hainan province with winds exceeding 230 km/h, prompting mass evacuations and extensive damage. Prior to this, it had already caused fatalities and destruction in the northern Philippines. Yagi, classified as a Category 4-equivalent storm, is expected to continue towards Vietnam, further disrupting the region. This event highlights the increasing intensity of tropical cyclones, which scientists attribute to climate change and warming oceans.
