The continuous rainfall, which began on 27 June at approximately 03:00 AM, led to rising water levels and widespread flooding across multiple communities.

Residential houses were damaged, ground floors were flooded, and strong winds caused extensive damage to roofs. Agricultural land and livestock were also affected, resulting in significant livelihood losses for many households.

The white ring marks where the event was reported.
Each image is a preview of a whole Sentinel-2 tile — an area of roughly 110 by 110 km, where one pixel is about 320 metres — not a close-up of the event, which may be a small part of it. "Clear" means under 30% cloud across the entire tile, so the exact place that matters can still be hidden. These are pictures for context, not an assessment of damage.
