At least 64 people are dead and dozens remain missing in Mexico after heavy rains caused flooding across five states, affecting around 100,000 homes.
In the US, a nor’easter has brought coastal flooding, winds, and heavy rain to mid-Atlantic and northeastern states, resulting in at least three deaths.
In Alaska, search-and-rescue crews have rescued dozens of people from coastal villages after the remnants of Typhoon Halong caused severe flooding and hurricane-force winds.
Human-driven climate change is making the strongest nor’easters even stronger, according to a study by University of Pennsylvania climate scientists, including Michael Mann.
