IMD Issues Heavy Rain Alerts for Eastern Uttar Pradesh Amid Active Monsoon
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued orange and yellow alerts for heavy to very heavy rainfall in several districts of Uttar Pradesh over the next 24 to 48 hours, particularly in eastern and southeastern regions including Prayagraj, Varanasi, and Bundelkhand. A low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal and a western disturbance are intensifying monsoon activity. While some districts have experienced excess rainfall in August, others remain below normal. Overall, the state's monsoon deficit has decreased but uneven rainfall distribution persists across districts.
