More than 100 people have died in floods in India, with hospital wards deluged, a prison forced to move hundreds of inmates and an increase in snake bites.

The monsoon season usually lasts from June to early September, but heavy rain has continued to fall in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states.

Boats have been rescuing people in Bihar's capital city, Patna, home to around two million people, where there is waist-deep water on some streets.

"The rains have stopped but there is waterlogging in many areas," said Amod Kumar Sharan, from Bihar's disaster relief department.

Twenty-five people have been killed in the state, while an official said at least 93 had died in Uttar Pradesh after its eastern areas bore the brunt of the rain.

The deaths include four people killed on the edge of Patna when a tree fell on the three-wheeler they were sitting in to avoid the rain.

Snake bites also caused five deaths in flooded areas, said Sandhaya Kureel from the disaster management and relief department.

Dozens of others have died from drowning, house collapses and lightning strikes.

Rising water also forced an emergency move of 900 inmates from a prison in Uttar Pradesh's Ballia district.

India'a meteorological agency said the rain was likely to weaken over Bihar on Monday and later in the week elsewhere.

However, it added that the amount of rain for this month has been above average for the first time in six years.
