News summary

In the past week, torrential rains have led to the deaths of over 250 people across India and China, with additional casualties reported in Pakistan. The monsoon and typhoon season, exacerbated by climate change, has caused widespread flooding and landslides, resulting in significant destruction of homes and crops. In China, a recent mudslide in Sichuan province accounted for at least eight deaths, while in India, heavy rains devastated tea estates in Kerala, hindering rescue efforts as bodies were found miles downstream. Historical data indicates that China is experiencing more extreme weather events, with projections for increased intensity in the coming decades.

Typhoon Gaemi has also contributed to fatalities in the Philippines and Taiwan, highlighting the regional impact of severe weather.
