Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 100 people have died since Wednesday after heavy rain lashed parts of India and Nepal.<\/p>\n

The Indian Meteorological Department, IMD, warned of multiple weather hazards on Wednesday, with heatwave conditions in the west and thunderstorms in the eastern and central regions, although the torrential rain associated with the monsoon typically begins in June.<\/p>\n

The eastern state\u2019s disaster management department reported that at least 82 people have died in rain-related incidents in Bihar over the past two days.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, authorities said 18 people had died due to lightning and storm-related incidents in India\u2019s most populous state of Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n

According to officials from the National Disaster Authority, in neighbouring Nepal, lightning strikes and heavy rain killed at least eight people.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s weather office expects more rain with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over central and eastern India until Monday.<\/p>\n

Intense heatwaves during the recent summer months have claimed several lives.<\/p>\n

State-run IMD said last week that India was expected to experience a much hotter April, with above-normal temperatures across most of the country.<\/p>\n
