China News Service, July 6th, according to Agence France-Presse, Indian officials said on the 5th local time that in the past 10 days, lightning strikes in Bihar state in northern India have killed 147 people. The official also warned that due to climate change, more extreme weather will occur.

  The Indian Meteorological Department warned that there will be more lightning in the next 48 hours.

  It is reported that lightning strikes are very common in India during the monsoon from June to September each year. But this year's monsoon season has just begun, and the number of deaths caused by lightning in Bihar has exceeded the total number of deaths each year in the past few years.

  It is reported that so far, about 215 people have died from lightning strikes in the state this year, compared with 170 last year.

  Bihar State Disaster Management Minister said that meteorologists, scientists and officials said that the temperature rise caused by climate change is the main reason for frequent thunderstorms.

  In addition, the relevant state departments of India have launched a mobile phone application software, which can help predict possible lightning strikes. But many poor farmers do not have smartphones.

  In addition, according to Indian officials, in Uttar Pradesh, more than 200 people have been killed by lightning strikes since April.
