Fires, floods and quakes: the global natural disasters that defined 2025
From the fires that devastated Los Angeles to deadly earthquakes in Myanmar and Afghanistan, a selection of events recalls the tragic disasters that defined 2025.
Extreme weather defined many of the top disasters in 2025, including Hurricane Melissa – the strongest storm of the year and one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded.
Even before the year’s end, extreme-weather-related crises continued, such as the devastating floods in Southeast Asia, which claimed more than 1,000 lives.
