Heavy rainfall triggered floods and landslides that killed at least 56 people in India's Uttar Pradesh state and 12 in Nepal by 27 September 2026, with 66.5mm of rain falling in Uttar Pradesh between Friday and Sunday morning — nearly nine times the normal amount for that period. More than 1,000 houses were damaged and 70,000 people evacuated in Odisha, while 30 river-monitoring stations across seven Indian states reported severe flooding. In Nepal, still recovering from a devastating August flood that killed more than 1,400 people, flash-flood warnings were issued across 49 of 77 districts.
