Cel puțin 14 persoane au murit lovite de fulger într-o singură zi în India, în plin sezon al musonului

At least 14 people died and seven were injured due to lightning strikes in eastern India during monsoon storms. Most victims were agricultural workers caught in the fields. The Indian Meteorological Department warned of continued heavy rainfall and storms. Lightning is the deadliest weather phenomenon in India, with over 100,000 fatalities since 1967. Experts link rising global temperatures to stronger storms, and a study shows an increase in lightning activity. Recent monsoon season tragedies include floods and landslides in various states, prompting authorities to improve warning systems, though rural coverage remains limited.
