Extreme weather battered India almost every day in 2025
India
India saw extreme weather on 331 out of 334 days this year—a jump from 2024's numbers.
According to the Centre for Science and Environment, these events led to over 4,400 deaths, massive crop losses across millions of hectares, and more than 1.8 lakh homes destroyed.
Monsoon floods and lightning strikes were among the deadliest, hitting states like Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand especially hard.
Why does this matter?
Northwest India was hit the most—places like Himachal Pradesh faced extreme weather almost all year.
Climate change is real and already affecting lives across the country.
