After several days of intermittent drizzle and cloudy weather, the monsoon is set to regain strength across Uttar Pradesh. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rainfall in around 50 districts, including Lucknow, Noida and Ghaziabad, on Sunday (August 3), while issuing a heavy rainfall warning for 21 districts.
According to the IMD, weather conditions across the state are expected to change from Sunday, with rainfall activity likely to intensify in both western and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Several areas may witness thunderstorms, lightning and very heavy rainfall, while isolated places could receive extremely heavy showers.
Monsoon Regains Strength
The IMD said the monsoon trough is gradually shifting towards Uttar Pradesh after the weakening of a low-pressure area over southeast Rajasthan. As a result, monsoon activity is expected to become more active across the state.
Rainfall is likely to increase further from August 4, with widespread showers expected across most parts of both western and eastern Uttar Pradesh. The wet spell is forecast to continue until August 7, after which rainfall intensity is likely to reduce from August 8 onwards.
