Authorities on Thursday said heavy rains across Southern India and Sri Lanka have killed at least 41 people.
The downpours are expected to ease especially as weather forecasters predicted that the rain will ease in the next few days as stricken communities pumped out the deluge.
While the Indian Meteorological Department forecast light to moderate rain in most affected areas, with occasional flooding of some roads and low-lying areas, counterparts in neighbouring Sri Lanka said rain there was expected to ease from today as the low pressure that brought the bad weather moved away.
