A series of floods took place across the Indian State of Maharashtra in 2021. As of 28 July 2021[update], around 251 people have died and over 100 are still missing due to floods and landslides. Thirteen districts have been affected in western Maharashtra.[2]
The flood was part of a series of tightly clustered extreme weather events in July 2021, including extreme rain events in Henan, China and Europe and is part of an increase in rain events during the Indian monsoon season caused by climate change.[3]
