NEW DELHI: At least 10 people were killed in floods after intense rainfall in southern India, local media reported on Wednesday, weeks after a cyclone triggered intense flooding in the same areas. Hundreds are stranded in Tamil Nadu state as water submerged roads, with the air force dropping 10 tons of emergency supplies to those stranded.

The heavy rains come just two weeks after at least eight people were killed by Cyclone "Michaung," which hit Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh states on December 6. While rains are expected in southern India in December, scientists have warned that storms are becoming more powerful as the world gets warmer with climate change.
