India
Uttar Pradesh is facing a tough time as nonstop heavy rains have left 56 people dead and 46 injured across most districts.
Cities like Kanpur and Varanasi are struggling with flooded roads, fallen trees, and uprooted electric poles, making daily life really difficult for many.
IMD advises farmers to drain fields
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) says it's all because of two weather systems, the "Deep Depression" from the Bay of Bengal meeting a "Western Disturbance."
This combo triggered widespread downpours, and IMD even put out thunderstorm alerts for western Uttar Pradesh on September 28.
Farmers are being told to drain water from their fields to protect crops like rice and maize, while everyone else is urged to stay alert as lightning risks continue.
