Heavy rain disrupts traffic, floods roads in India's Mumbai
Some parts of Mumbai recorded more than 140 mm (5 inches) of rain from Monday morning, the weather department said, causing traffic snarls as cars stalled on inundated roads.
Three people were injured when the staircase of a two-storeyed building collapsed in a southern district of the city late on Sunday night.
The weather department warned of heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday, issuing a red alert for Mumbai and surrounding areas, and authorities asked residents to stay home.
At least nine incoming flights into Mumbai aborted landing, news website NDTV said. It was not immediately clear whether the flights had been diverted elsewhere.
Torrential rain has killed dozens of people and deluged villages in India's Himalaya mountains over the last two weeks.

What to know about powerful Hurricane Erin as it heads toward the US East Coast
Island communities off the coast of North Carolina are bracing for flooding ahead of the year's first Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Erin. Although forecasters are confident that the storm won't make direct landfall in the United States, authorities on a few islands along North Carolina's Outer Banks issued evacuation orders and warned that some roads could be swamped by waves of 15 feet (4.6 meters). The monster storm intensified to a Category 4 with 140 mph (225 kph) maximum sustained winds early Monday while it started to lash the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeast Bahamas, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. Tropical storm warnings were in effect for the southeast Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, the hurricane center said. Here is what to know about Hurricane Erin. Storm surge, high winds expected along North Carolina's coast Forecasters say Erin will turn northeast — and away — from the eastern U.S. Still, the storm is expected to bring tropical storm force winds, dangerous waves and rip currents to North Carolina's coast. That is according to Dave Roberts of the National Hurricane Center. Coastal flooding in North Carolina is expected to begin Tuesday. Evacuations were being ordered on Hatteras Island and Ocracoke Island along North Carolina's Outer Banks even though the storm is unlikely to make direct landfall. Authorities warned that some roads could be swamped by waves of 15 feet (4.6 meters). The orders come at the height of tourist season on the thin stretch of low-lying barrier islands that juts far into the Atlantic Ocean. There are concerns that several days of heavy surf, high winds and waves could wash out parts of the main highway running along the barrier islands, the National Weather Service said. Some routes could be impassible for several days. Portions of Highway 12 on Ocracoke and Hatteras Islands are most at risk for storm surge, National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan said. Erin's outer bands hit parts of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with heavy rains and tropical-storm winds on Sunday. Potentially devastating impacts Storm surge is the level at which sea water rises above its normal level. Much like the way a storm's sustained winds do not include the potential for even stronger gusts, storm surge doesn't include the wave height above the mean water level. Surge is also the amount above what the normal tide is at a time, so a 15-foot storm surge at high tide can be far more devastating than the same surge at low tide. Fluctuating strength Erin's strength has fluctuated significantly over the past week. The most common way to measure a hurricane's strength is the Saffir-Simpson Scale that assigns a category from 1 to 5 based on a storm's sustained wind speed at its center, with 5 being the strongest. Erin reached a dangerous Category 5 status Saturday with 160 mph (260 kph) winds before weakening. It is expected to remain a large, major hurricane into midweek. 'You're dealing with a major hurricane. The intensity is fluctuating. It's a dangerous hurricane in any event,' the hurricane center's Richard Pasch said. Lethal summer of floods Although Erin is the first Atlantic hurricane of the year, there have been four tropical storms this hurricane season already. Tropical Storm Chantal made the first U.S. landfall of the season in early July, and its remnants caused flooding in North Carolina that killed an 83-year-old woman when her car was swept off a rural road. And at least 132 people were killed in floodwaters that overwhelmed Texas Hill Country on the Fourth of July. Just over a week later, flash floods inundated New York City and parts of New Jersey, claiming two lives.

Canada's wildfires could continue into fall, says government
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Canada's second-worst wildfire season on record has already burned 7.8 million hectares and could continue for weeks, federal government officials said Monday. Warmer than usual weather forecast from now until the end of September for southern British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan creates a significant risk of new fires, since those areas remain very dry, they said. Present fires have a "high likelihood" of being able to continue burning or smoldering "well into autumn" because of the higher-than-usual temperatures forecast, said Julienne Morissette of Natural Resources Canada. Fires have also affected Atlantic provinces Newfoundland and Nova Scotia this year, due to unusual dryness. More than 60% of Canada's burned areas have been in the western provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, however. Since 2023 more than 25 million hectares of Canadian land have been burned by wildfires, causing massive smoke plumes to flow across Canada and well south into much of the United States. Some local U.S. politicians have complained about the smoke from Canada ruining summer activities and vacations. Canada's wildfire seasons have caused mass evacuations in a number of parts of northern Canada, where many Indigenous people live. About 13,000 people from First Nations are still evacuated. During the peak of the evacuations in early summer, military aircraft helped bring people from isolated forest communities to emergency shelters, including hotel rooms thousands of kilometres away in Niagara Falls, Ont. Some communities require repair work to infrastructure and homes after fire and smoke inundated hard-to-reach areas, making it hard for some evacuees to return even after the fire risks subside, officials said. Federal officials said climate change had worsened the wildfire risk across Canada. Warmer average temperatures and longer snow-free seasons mean there is more potential for fires than in the past. "Increasingly fires are an all-year event, and as Canadians we need to be fire-smart all year," said Corey Hogan, parliamentary secretary to the minister of energy and natural resources.

Pakistani villagers scared to go back to deluged homes after floods kill over 340
BUNER, Pakistan, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Residents of a northwestern Pakistani district where devastating floods have killed more than 200 people said on Monday they were too scared to go back to their deluged homes as authorities warned of more rains to come. "Everybody is scared. Children are scared. They cannot sleep," said Sahil Khan, a 24-year-old university student. He was speaking to a Reuters team from a rooftop in the district of Buner, where he and 15 other villagers had climbed to escape any more flooding amid a fresh spell of rain on Monday. "It was like a doomsday scenario," he said of the flash floods caused by heavy rains and cloudbursts that, according to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority, have killed at least 341 people in the northwest since Friday - more than 200 of them in Buner. The fatalities include 28 women and 21 children, it said. The intense rain has claimed lives and spread destruction in several northern districts, with most people killed in flash floods, according to the National Disaster Management Authority. In hilly areas, the floods washed away houses, buildings, vehicles and belongings. Buner district was the worst hit in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Khan and other residents in Buner's Bayshonai Kalay village fled to higher ground when a water channel that had earlier overflowed and caused major devastation started swelling with more rain on Monday, according to Reuters witnesses. He and several other residents said most of the villagers were staying with relatives or in makeshift camps set up by local authorities on higher ground. Rescuers were finding it difficult to get heavy machinery into narrow streets. In Buner's main markets and streets, shops and houses were buried in up to five feet of mud, which locals were clearing with shovels. Elsewhere, cars and other belongings were strewn in the rubble of ruined buildings. "People are out of their homes. They are fearful," said Dayar Khan, 26, a shopkeeper in Buner. "They have climbed up in the mountains." Rescue and relief efforts resumed in the flood-hit areas several hours after heavy rain forced rescuers to halt work on Monday, a regional government officer, Abid Wazir, told Reuters. "Our priority is now to clear the roads, set up bridges and bring relief to the affected people," he said. Heavy rains and flash floods also hit more areas in the northwestern province on Monday, including the district Swabi, where 11 people were killed, according to the provincial disaster management authority. Local TV footage showed flood water raging through Swabi's streets, washing away cars and motorcycles, as residents ran in panic for safer ground. Lieutenant General Inam Haider Malik, the National Disaster Management Authority's chairman, warned of two more spells of rain between August 21 and September 10. "It can intensify," he said, and there could be more cloudbursts. Syed Muhammad Tayyab Shah, who leads risk assessment at the authority, said global warming had changed the pattern of the annual monsoon, pushing it around 100 km west of its normal path. Relief supplies, including food, medicine, blankets, tents, an electric generator and pumps have been sent to the affected areas, the authority said. Officials said Buner was hit by a cloudburst, a rare phenomenon where more than 100 mm (4 inches) of rain falls within an hour in a small area. In Buner, there was more than 150 mm of rain within an hour on Friday morning. "The current weather system is active over the Pakistan region and may cause heavy to very heavy rainfall during the next 24 hours," the disaster authority said on Sunday. Torrential rains and flooding this monsoon season have killed 657 people across Pakistan since late June, it said.
