Heavy rainfall and river swells across Asia

In South Asia, relentless rainfall triggered severe flooding and landslides across several regions:

• Nepal: Swollen by incessant rain, the Roshi River in Bagmati Province crossed danger thresholds, washing away key road diversions along the BP Highway and leaving communities isolated. Heavy machinery was deployed to clear mud and debris along mountain corridors.
• India: A powerful storm accompanied by torrential downpours struck the Vaishali district in Bihar, ripping roofs off local market stalls and causing rapid water level rises in rivers throughout the Bhamtabad region. MP4
• Thailand: Severe flash flooding inundated Chonburi Province and the Nong Kham area, submerging vehicles in urban centers and flooding commercial spaces.

Severe storms hit Mediterranean and North America

In Europe and North Africa, rapid-onset storms brought unexpected deluge and coastal hazards:

• Italy & Greece: Severe downpours flooded historic street markets, restaurant districts, and thoroughfares in several coastal and low-lying cities.
• Libya: Persistent rain triggered flash floods across western and central provinces, creating treacherous mudflows in arid valleys.
• United States & Brazil: An early-autumn nor’easter battered the New Jersey coast with gale-force winds and coastal flooding, while parts of Santiago, Brazil, experienced heavy downpours accompanied by damaging hail.

International humanitarian organizations and disaster management agencies remain on high alert as weather fronts continue to bring secondary flood risks and ground instability across affected areas.
