They are the worst floods Sri Lanka has seen in a decade. More than 15,000 homes have been destroyed and over 400 people killed.
On the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, rivers burst their banks, submerging or sweeping away tens of thousands of homes.
The death toll has already passed 700, with hundreds of thousands more forced to flee.
Rescue efforts are underway, but many communities remain unreachable as flooding engulfed much of the country.
