A severe cloudburst struck Arunachal Pradesh's Keyi Panyor district, triggering a massive landslide and flash flood situation that caused widespread destruction in a residential area. The disaster occurred after days of relentless monsoon rainfall that had already weakened hill slopes and increased the risk of landslides.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has projected an 80% chance of an El Niño event developing between June and August, with the probability rising to over 90% that it could continue until at least November.
