SINGAPORE - Typhoons in Southeast Asia are forming closer to coastlines, intensifying more rapidly and lasting longer over land due to climate change , according to a joint scientific study released on Wednesday.Coastal communities and cities like Hai Phong in Vietnam and the Thai capital Bangkok are "facing unprecedented threats from longer lasting and more intense storms", a statement about the study said.
It added that climate change, which has caused ocean waters to warm, can alter the paths of tropical storms in the region, home to more than 650 million people."Our study shows that as the cyclones travel across warmer oceans from climate change, they pull in more water vapour and heat," said Benjamin Horton, director of NTU's Earth Observatory of Singapore and a co-author of the research.
