Officials in Gujarat, western India, announced on Tuesday that at least 14 people have died and 16 others were injured due to heavy rains that unexpectedly hit the region ahead of the monsoon season.

Local media footage showed fallen trees and devastated agricultural fields, as severe thunderstorms caused widespread damage in several areas.

Unseasonal rains have led to over 100 fatalities in central and eastern India, extending to parts of Nepal last month.
