In 2017 extreme rainfall in Venezuela triggered the most devastating floods in over a decade, whilst Hurricane Harvey set new rainfall records in Texas. In contrast, extreme drought affected at least 3% of global land area each month, a figure matched only in 1984, 1985, and 2016.”

At present, there are two tropical cyclones in play, Hurricane Humberto, which was a category 5 storm over the weekend but has since weakened, and another system that is intensifying and may become a hurricane as it moves northwards. These systems are expected to interact, a scenario
