Cyclone Remal, which struck Bangladesh and India on May 26, left at least 38 dead and caused widespread destruction, including the collapse of a quarry in Mizoram. Experts blame climate change for the storm’s rapid formation and extended duration, which lasted over 36 hours. Azizur Rahman from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department noted this cyclone’s unprecedented speed and duration. The storm breached embankments, flooding farmland and contaminating water supplies. Over 3.75 million people were affected, with significant property damage.
