Assam Floods: 58 Deaths, 6 Children, Heavy Rainfall Misattributed as Cloudburst

Assam, a state in India, is having a big flood that has already taken 58 lives, including 6 children.

The flood started after a lot of rain fell in a short time, not a sudden burst from a cloud.

Scientists say the rain was heavy but not a special cloudburst.

The floods are part of a bigger problem of many floods in India because of the monsoon season.

To keep people safe, experts suggest better weather stations, early warnings, and protecting forests and wetlands so water can soak up instead of rushing into rivers.
