Heavy rainfall triggered floods and landslides across northern India and Nepal, killing at least 68 people over the past three days. In Uttar Pradesh, the most populous Indian state with a population of more than 240 million, 56 deaths were reported along with damage to over 1,000 houses. The region experienced 66.5mm (2.6 inches) of rain from Friday to Sunday morning, compared to an average of 7.6mm (a quarter of an inch). Neighboring Nepal saw the death toll rise by another 12, bringing total fatalities there since August 26 to more than 1,400 due to a glacial mountain collapse on the China-Nepal border. Scientists link these extreme weather events to rising temperatures and changing climate patterns in South Asia. Rainfall is expected to ease starting Monday as a weather system over the Bay of Bengal weakens.
