Monsoon fury leadsto chaos across states

Flash floods, landslides, and lightning strikes have killed at least 10 people and left many stranded in India as the monsoon swept across the country. The surge has been unusual, with the monsoon arriving in Mumbai and Delhi on the same day, a fortnight late in Mumbai and a day early in Delhi. Much of the rain-related crisis was in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir, where several highways were closed, stranding hundreds of people. The incidents highlight the need for improved early warning systems for weather-related extreme events, as climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of such events.
