Heavy seasonal rains caused flooding in Rakhine State and other parts of the country at the end of June 2015. In addition, early on 30 July 2015, a cyclonic storm named as Komen impacted much of Myanmar with torrential rains, causing widespread flooding. In Maungdaw and Buthidaung, 59% of the villages assessed received some form of early warning on the incoming storm and as a result 41% sought safer refuge.
