BEARING DOWN ON BANGLADESH

What was once considered a catastrophic, once-in-a-century storm tide will now hit the heavily populated Bangladesh, on average, once per decade, battering the country’s coast every few years. Tropical cyclones will likely overlap with the months-long monsoon season. Until now, cyclones and the monsoon have occurred at separate times but cyclones will likely push into the monsoon season, causing back-to-back flooding events across the country.
