IMD Forecasts Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms Across Uttar Pradesh with Rising River Levels
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts widespread rain and thunderstorms across Uttar Pradesh over the next 24 hours, with heavy to very heavy rainfall expected at isolated places, especially in western and eastern regions. Lucknow and adjoining areas may see intermittent rain and thundershowers with temperatures around 29°C to 26°C. Rising river levels, including the Hindon river in Gautam Buddh Nagar flowing above the danger mark, have prompted warnings. Despite recent rainfall improving the state's overall deficit to 27%, some areas like Lucknow still face significant shortages.
