East Asia has faced a series of powerful typhoons in recent months as El Niño warms the Pacific Ocean. The storms have killed dozens, damaged infrastructure, flooded villages and disrupted flights. Typhoon Champi brought strong winds and heavy rain near Taiwan in October. Earlier, Super Typhoon Dolphin caused severe flooding in China. Experts warn that warmer ocean waters could make storms stronger and increase rainfall. A study found that higher temperatures could raise rainfall from major storms in the Philippines by 26%. Countries are strengthening warning systems and preparing for further damage.
