Some areas of Tamil Nadu saw 55cm (21.7 inches) of rainfall between 09 and 16 November 2015. Heavy rain pounded the coastal districts of Tamil Nadu again on 23rd November causing new floods. The heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding. Deaths of people has been reported and caused widespread displacement of the people living in low-lying areas across the districts in the three states adjoining each other. Floods were also intensified due to release of water from small and medium reservoirs causing heavy influx of flood waters inundating many areas in the affected districts. 
FL-2015-000162-QAT Flood Qatar Qatar was hit by more than a year's worth of rain in a matter of hours, almost bringing the country to a standstill and prompting the country's prime minister to order an inquiry.

Furthermore, some 1000 migrants trying to cross the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border were turned back by Nicaraguan authorities, further compounding their vulnerability due to the uncertainty caused by this refusal to let them pass and forcing them to remain even more time camped in the vicinity of the border. For the Costa Rican authorities, this refusal involves having to set up temporary shelters and services, in addition to the migrants still in transit across Costa Rica and other countries (the latter are not confirmed as yet), which could mean up to 4000 people.

DR-2015-000150-GTM Drought Guatemala According to information from the Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology of Guatemala (INSIVUMEH), the 2015 rainy season has been strongly affected by El Niño and its side effects. Rainfall levels have been very low this rainy season. Eastern regions of the Guatemalan dry corridor have not had rain for over 30 or 40 days. Analyses from the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) indicate that much of the Central American dry corridor is experiencing a drought, where soils have very low moisture content and are classified as "withered". According to FEWS NET estimates, at least 25 municipalities in the eastern and central dry corridor are facing Crisis-level (Phase 3, CIF) food insecurity, and 15 others are stressed (Phase 2, CIF). The affected region includes areas in the departments of Chiquimula, Jutiapa, Jalapa, Zacapa, El Progreso, Baja Verapaz, Quiché, Totonicapán, Huehuetenango and San Marcos.

OT-2015-000148-IDN Other Indonesia Forest and land fires which occurred in some of the islands of Borneo (Kalimantan) and Sumatra resulted in a very dense haze, with conditions on the round getting more and more serious. The Centre for Health Crisis of Ministry of Health (CHC/MOH) reported that the forest fire which caused this haze started on 1 March 2015 in Riau Province. By now the affected area spread into six other provinces, four in kalimantan (West, East, South and Central Kalimantan) and three in Sumatra Island (Jambi, Riau and South Sumatera). In the last few weeks, the haze has also affected neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. The intensification of this disaster is the consequence of El Nino in the region, with severe droughts and significant delay of the rainy season, therefore preventing the effect of the rain on forest fires. BMKG (National Meteorological, Climatology and Geophysics Agency) recorded the number of hotspots as 1,200 points spread in Sumatra and Borneo (where Kalimantan region is located). On the island of Sumatra, there are 771 hotspots spread across several provinces, including Bengkulu (33 points), Jambi (99 points), Bangka Belitung (41 points), Lampung (42 points), Riau (28 points), West Sumatra (8 points), and South Sumatra with 530 points. On the island of Borneo, 429 hot spots are spread across four provinces, namely West Kalimantan (154 points), South Kalimantan (65 points), Central Kalimantan (74 points), and 136 points in East Kalimantan.
