The unseasonable rain and hailstorm across all North India and its connected states caused heavy damage to the crops of the Rabi Harvest in March 2015. Usually this period of the year does not get rain but this year heavy rainfall destroyed most of the winter harvest that was near to being cut. It directly affected normal life, especially of farmers who lost their harvest for this season. Because of the crop damage on a large scale, the prices of basic food items increased. Approximately 106 lakh hectares harvest was damaged and 80 farmers attempted suicide in March alone. It was recorded as the wettest March in 48 years.
