Days of heavy rain have left at least 13 people dead in the Philippines, according to rescue officials. The ongoing severe weather highlights the country's high vulnerability to severe meteorological events.
The Philippines is situated as the first major landmass facing the Pacific cyclone belt, leaving the archipelago exposed to an average of approximately 20 storms and typhoons annually.
In addition to the region's geographical exposure, scientists note that human-driven climate change is contributing to the increasing frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme weather events globally.
