Nepalese officials confirmed at least eight deaths across various provinces as a result of landslides and floods triggered by the extreme downpour. Rescue operations continue as local governments brace for more weather-related disruptions.
Meteorologists predict further thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and gusty winds across much of central and eastern India through Monday. With monsoon patterns shifting unpredictably due to climate change, officials have urged residents to take extra precautions.
