Impact & Risks

Cyclones in Bangladesh pose significant risks to coastal communities, including strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. These events can lead to flooding, damage to infrastructure, and loss of life. The warm sea temperatures in the Bay of Bengal during cyclone season increase the likelihood of severe storms. Vulnerable populations in low-lying areas are particularly at risk, and preparedness measures are crucial to mitigate the impact.
