According to the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) seasonal analysis, extreme weather events, most of which were caused by heavy rainfall, killed 231 people throughout India during the pre-monsoon season. In the last three months, the northeastern states took most of the brunt of the severe weather due to the pre-monsoon downpours and the rising waters in one of the world's largest rivers, the Brahmaputra.
