In the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, 56 people died and 46 others were injured due to heavy rains. Heavy rains have hit most of the region and caused widespread destruction. This was reported on September 27 by the Times of India newspaper.

"Sitapur turned out to be the most affected area in terms of the number of deaths.: Seven people died there. Five people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri, Bahraich and Balrampur, and four in Ayodhya and Gorakhpur," the publication says.

107 animals were also killed and 1,021 houses were damaged due to bad weather. The greatest damage to residential buildings was recorded in Hardoi and Sitapura. In 48 hours, an average of 66.5 mm of precipitation fell in the state with a norm of 7.6 mm, which is 775% higher than the average. A significant excess of the norm was recorded in 56 of the 75 districts.

Damage assessment continues. The district administrations simultaneously carry out rescue operations, provide assistance to the victims and establish the extent of the destruction.

Bangkok authorities on September 26 urged residents to stay at home due to flooding caused by heavy rains.
