HANOI – Angka kematian di Vietnam akibat hujan lebat dan banjir yang dibawa Taufan Wutip meningkat kepada tujuh orang, kata pihak berkuasa hari ini.
Wutip tiba di daratan di selatan China hujung minggu lalu bersama angin kencang selaju 128 kilometer sejam sebelum lemah dan bertukar kepada ribut tropika.
Tujuh orang terkorban, 100 rumah rosak dan hampir 60,000 hektar tanaman ditenggelami air di tengah Vietnam, demikian menurut kemas kini pihak berkuasa pengurusan bencana hari ini.
Vietnam dilanda kira-kira 12 ribut tropika setiap tahun, tetapi pada bulan Jun, ribut biasanya menjejaskan utara Vietnam dan beransur-ansur bergerak ke selatan negara itu menjelang hujung tahun.
Lewat minggu lalu, tengah Vietnam termasuk bandar warisan dunia Hoi An, mengalami banjir serius yang menyebabkan kematian, mengganggu lalu lintas dan merosakkan tanaman.
Tahun lalu pula, bencana alam meragut 514 nyawa di Vietnam, tiga kali ganda lebih banyak berbanding 2023.
MUMBAI: India's monsoon has revived after stalling for more than a fortnight, and rains are set to cover central parts of the country this week, bringing relief from the heatwave in the grain-growing northern plains, two senior weather officials said on Monday.
The monsoon, the lifeblood of the country's nearly $4 trillion economy, delivers nearly 70% of the rain that India needs to water farms and replenish aquifers and reservoirs.
Nearly half of India's farmland, which has no irrigation, depends on the annual June-September rains for crop growth.
Monsoon rains on Monday covered almost entire western state of Maharashtra and entered into neighbouring Gujarat and central state of Madhya Pradesh, the official said.
The Monsoon's onset over Kerala occurred on May 24 and quickly covered southern, northeastern and some parts of western India ahead of its usual schedule, but its progress has stalled since May 29, according to an IMD chart that tracked the monsoon's progress.
The monsoon has gained the required momentum, and heavy rainfall is likely over west coast, central and some parts of north India in next ten days, which will significantly bring down temperatures, another weather official said.
India has received 31% lower rainfall than average in the first half of June, but in the second half the country is set to receive above average rainfall, the official said.
Monsoon rains are set to progress quickly in the next few days and could cover most parts of the country before the end of June, the official said.
Summer rains usually fall in Kerala around June 1 before spreading nationwide by mid-July, allowing farmers to plant crops such as rice, corn, cotton, soybeans and sugarcane.

BALIK PULAU: Heavy rain triggered flash floods in Jalan Kampung Air Puteh here this afternoon.
Four houses were inundated in 0.3 metres of floodwaters.
The Balik Pulau Fire and Rescue station was alerted at 3.53pm.
Penang Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations John Sagun Francis said no victims were evacuated.
"This was caused by heavy rainfall and the location being at the foot of a hill."
"This led to water filling the drains and overflowing onto the road, as well as entering four houses with an estimated depth of one foot," he said this evening.
John said monitoring at the scene indicated that the situation was under control.
"The water level is gradually receding," he added.
