三股同时生成的气旋叠加异常强烈的季风，从南海一直到孟加拉湾横扫南亚南部，已造成至少1,600人死亡、数百人失踪。斯里兰卡、印尼、越南和泰国都在承受灾后冲击。

持续洪水影响了近1,100万人，迫使逾100万人流离失所。仍在从2022年经济崩溃中恢复的斯里兰卡基础设施和农业严重受损，而印尼的损失同样沉重。

印尼占据了近一半的死亡人数，意味着约800人丧生，凸显其高度暴露的脆弱性。世界气象组织指出，如此接近赤道的强气旋本属罕见，当地民众缺乏应对极端天气的经验，进一步放大了灾害影响。

Three simultaneous cyclones combined with an unusually intense monsoon have swept from the South China Sea to the Bay of Bengal, causing at least 1,600 deaths and leaving hundreds missing. Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand are all struggling with the aftermath.

Continued flooding has affected nearly 11 million people and displaced over 1 million. Sri Lanka, still recovering from its 2022 economic collapse, has suffered severe damage to infrastructure and agriculture, while Indonesia has also been heavily hit.

Indonesia accounts for nearly half of the death toll, implying around 800 fatalities and highlighting its acute vulnerability. The World Meteorological Organization notes that such powerful cyclones are rare so close to the equator, and limited local experience with extreme weather has amplified the disaster’s overall impact.
