Climate, migration and conflict mix to create 'deadly' intense tropical storms like Chido

Dec 25, 2024

Cyclone Chido was an "intense tropical cyclone", equivalent to a category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic. It made landfall in Mayotte, a small island lying to the north-west of Madagascar on December 14, generating wind gusts approaching 155mph (250km/hr). Later on, it hit Mozambique, East Africa, with the same ferocity.
