Deaths from extreme precipitation and tropical cyclones decreased, while deaths from lightning and extreme temperatures increased. Most deaths were caused by lightning, followed by extreme precipitation and temperature. The central part of India had the highest death toll. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal were the most affected states. More males and older people died from extreme weather events.
