Cyclone Fengal made landfall in Tamil Nadu, India, on Saturday, bringing extreme rainfall to Puducherry, which saw its highest 24-hour rainfall in 30 years. By Monday morning, the cyclone weakened into a low-pressure system.
In Sri Lanka, the storm triggered deadly landslides, killing 20 people and displacing nearly 470,000. In India, three deaths were reported from electrocution, though overall damage was minimal. Flooded roads and school closures persisted in parts of southern India, and authorities issued flash flood warnings.
Experts warn that climate change is exacerbating the intensity of such storms. But improved forecasting and evacuation strategies have significantly reducedΒ casualties.
