English: The 2021 winter monsoon season has just started and is causing severe damage in India and Sri Lanka. At the beginning of November, severe weather hit the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Negombo area in Sri Lanka, destroying numerous houses and causing a string of mudslides. According to local Authorities, at least 41 casualties have been recorded as a consequence of the rising waters and more have been injured by landslides. The Indian Meteorological Institute forecasts that the conditions will worsen in the following days, and several ‘red alerts’ have been issued. This image, acquired on 11 November 2021 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, provides evidence of the flooded area near Negombo in Sri Lanka Data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel satellite allow us to monitor the development of disasters worldwide and estimate the extent of the affected area. |
