Uttarakhand has received record breaking rainfall this week and at least 46 have died in landslides and floods. While the weather department says the worst of the rain may now be over, several towns are still cut off. Kerala has also received high rainfall, which led to the death of at least 40 people in the state. This is not the first time the states have seen such extreme weather conditions that have proved to be fatal, raising the question of whether climate change is behind what has now become an annual phenomenon of fatal natural disasters.
