It's the rain farmers pray for, but this year it's turned deadly. More than 100 lives lost, thousands homeless, and entire districts still underwater — India's monsoon fury is far from over.

Here’s the grim picture as we know it.

Monsoon-triggered floods and landslides have killed more than 100 people across India since July, official data showed on Wednesday, with thousands forced to flee their inundated homes.

And while the annual monsoon is a lifeline for farmers, scientists are warning that climate change is making it more erratic, unpredictable and downright deadly across South Asia. That pattern is playing out right now.

According to **cbinews.tv**, Assam in the northeast is among the worst hit. At least 87 people have been killed, according to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. In Sivasagar district alone — the worst-affected — some 47 people have died, with several areas still submerged.

State authorities are now appealing for public donations to support relief and rehabilitation.

Chief Minister Sarma put it starkly on X: “The devastation here is unlike anything these areas have witnessed before. Material losses can be restored, but no compensation can replace a loved one.”

Images from the region show residents using rafts and inflated boats to reach higher ground, aided by disaster response officials.

Down south, Kerala is also reeling. Chief Minister VD Satheesan said at least 15 people have been killed and another seven are missing after days of heavy downpour. More than 300 relief camps have been set up, sheltering over 10,000 people after landslides and swollen rivers burst their banks.

In the Himalayan territory of Jammu and Kashmir, at least 31 people have been killed in several short, intense bursts of rainfall, according to a report by the public state broadcaster.

Monsoon disasters have become an annual heartbreak for India — coming right after long, scorching summers when many parts of the country face drought and water scarcity.

And it’s not just India. Neighbouring Sri Lanka has also been battered by unusually heavy monsoon rains since Monday, with flash floods and mudslides claiming at least eight lives, according to the Disaster Management Centre. Some 12,000 people have been driven from their homes in the central region, while at the same time, the east is in severe drought — with tanker trucks having to deliver drinking water.

The government there said last month the severe swings are down to this year’s El Niño phenomenon. The economic cost is yet to be estimated, but a ministerial task force has been set up to mitigate the impact.
