What caused nearly 200 people to die in heavy rain in India due to floods in India?

Many factors lead to flooding in India, the most direct reason is heavy rainfall, but some experts believe that the flooding in India is caused by global warming. The relationship between global warming and extreme weather phenomena is not two-way. Global warming increases the possibility of extreme weather phenomena, but it cannot be said that the cause of extreme weather phenomena is global warming.

When global warming is combined with natural weather phenomena, extreme weather events may occur. At the same time, floods will be affected by other geographical factors.

Whether rivers and lakes have water storage capacity to withstand the test of heavy rainfall is also a factor affecting floods. Taking the flood in Germany as an example, some media reports pointed out that the heavy rain in Germany caused the water level of the Rhine River to rise, overflowing the local flood control dam and causing floods.
