- Deaths
- 1–9: +8 · 10–99: +14 · 100–999: +22 · 1,000+: +30
- Displaced people
- 1–9,999: +6 · 10,000–99,999: +12 · 100,000+: +18
- Casualties
- 100 or more: +8
- Story wording
- +10 for terms such as catastrophe, famine, war, conflict, major earthquake, mass casualty or critical. Otherwise, +5 for active, ongoing, emergency, outbreak, cyclone or hurricane.

Situation
Heavy rain and flooding from 25 to 27 September 2026 caused deaths, injuries and housing damage across Uttar Pradesh. The state Relief Commissioner’s figures reported by Reuters and The Indian Express record 56 deaths, 46 injured and more than 1,000 damaged houses (1,021 in the Indian Express account). The Associated Press separately reports at least 62 deaths, 46 injured and more than 1,000 homes damaged. The state and AP casualty reports are preserved as separate source observations; no arithmetic reconciliation is made. Rescue teams were reported evacuating stranded residents, but no verified displacement total was provided. This state-wide episode remains separate from the Gandak embankment-breach record.
WorldsAid verification
A WorldsAid editor reviewed this record against 3 attributed sources, cleaned feed formatting and checked the crisis, place and reporting date. 6 human-impact figures were separated from the narrative and dated where the source allowed. Earlier observations remain in the evidence history instead of being silently overwritten.
