How are climate change and other factors contributing to the severity of this year's monsoon season?

\"Climate change is exacerbating typical monsoon season rains, resulting in more intense flooding and landslides. Warmer oceans increase moisture, while factors like high population density in flood-prone areas, inadequate defenses, and vulnerable river systems worsen the impact.\" The resulting damage to crops, like the 800,000 hectares of rubber trees in Thailand, is causing significant economic losses.
