Assam flood death toll reaches 100 as IMD warns of more rain from Aug. 13. Odisha rivers swell again. Delhi to see light rain Monday.
The death toll from flooding in Assam reached 100 on Sunday, according to the state's Disaster Reporting and Information Management System bulletin. Sixty males, 23 females and 18 children were killed across multiple districts as large parts of the state remain submerged.
The India Meteorological Department said a low-pressure area is likely to form over the north Bay of Bengal and adjoining West Bengal-Bangladesh coasts around Aug. 13. That system is expected to increase rainfall over West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Bihar from that date onward.
Odisha also saw rivers swell again after heavy rain over the past 24 hours. Water levels in the Baitarani, Salandi, Kani and parts of the Mahanadi river system rose sharply, officials said. The state had seen some receding earlier in the week.
For Delhi, the IMD forecast one or two spells of very light to light rain at many places on Monday, with moderate rain at isolated spots toward afternoon and night. Maximum temperatures are expected between 33°C and 35°C, minimums between 24°C and 26°C.
Flash flood risk remains low to moderate over watersheds in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur, Tripura, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim over the next 24 hours, the IMD said.
