Heavy rains and deadly floods in southern India kill 14, displace thousands

Heavy rains and flooding occurred in southern India during late July 2026, resulting in at least 11 deaths and forcing the evacuation of approximately 7,700 people in the state of Kerala. Rescue efforts were ongoing, and landslides caused additional casualties in neighboring Karnataka, where a family of three was killed. Authorities established 275 relief camps to accommodate displaced residents, and cleanup operations began in affected areas. The weather conditions prompted school closures and the postponement of a teacher recruitment examination. Further severe weather, including strong winds and moderate rainfall, was expected in Kerala.
