Dr Markus Stowasser of Allianz Re shares his views on the changing storm patterns that may be shifting further north - a problem for the coastal areas of South East Asia.

Research shows that these storm patterns may be shifting further north, and that the storms of the future that make landfall could be even stronger and more devasting.
