Typhoons Batter East Asia as El Niño Makes Pacific Burn with Fever

A wave of intense and sometimes unpredictable storms, worsened by El Niño, has battered East Asia, killing dozens of people, shutting major airports, and wiping out crops. In October, a huge storm large enough to engulf Taiwan shut down nearly all of the island, while hundreds of flights were cancelled in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. With the Pacific heated to record levels, forecasters warn the worst may not be over, and countries across the region are bracing for further disruption to travel, farming, and daily life.
