Pabuk Cyclone in Thailand

Pabuk is the first tropical storm outside of monsoon season to hit the country in 68 years. It brought heavy downpours, storm surges and landslides to some parts, causing injuries and impacting thousands of lives.

Thailand is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events. Since the 1970s, the number and severity of tropical cyclones to make landfall in the country has increased.
