Nearly 100 people are killed in India and Nepal as a result of severe storms and heavy rain

Heavy rain and storms have killed about 100 people in India and Nepal, and more severe weather is expected.

Since Wednesday, severe rains and storms have pounded parts of India and Nepal, killing up to 100 people. On Wednesday, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a multi-hazard warning, predicting thunderstorms in the country’s eastern and central areas and heatwaves in the country’s western regions.

According to disaster management experts, rain-related accidents have claimed the lives of at least 64 persons in the eastern Indian state of Bihar. The most populous state in India, Uttar Pradesh, has also seen a terrible situation, with local media claiming more than 20 deaths. At least eight people have died in neighboring Nepal as a result of lightning strikes and heavy rain, according to National Disaster Authority authorities.

The present problem will be made worse by the IMD’s prediction that central and eastern India will continue to have heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds through Saturday. The monsoon season normally starts in June, but this year’s weather in India has been exceptionally hot and severe, with the IMD predicting a hotter-than-normal April for the majority of the nation.

This catastrophic weather occurrence serves as a reminder of the region’s climate’s unpredictability and the importance of having a strong disaster plan in place in light of shifting environmental conditions.
