Heavy Rain Continues Across Uttar Pradesh, Yellow Alert Issued For 30 Districts

Uttar Pradesh is experiencing heavy rainfall, bringing relief from humidity with temperatures dropping 3-4°C. The IMD has forecast continued showers and issued a yellow alert for 30 districts.

Uttar Pradesh has been witnessing continuous rainfall for the past two days, bringing relief from the sticky humidity. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast more heavy showers across the state on Monday, August 25. Since late Sunday night, intermittent rain has been reported in Noida, Ghaziabad, and several other regions.

According to the forecast, almost all areas in both divisions of the state are likely to see showers accompanied by thunder today. A yellow alert has been issued for nearly 30 districts in eastern UP and Terai regions, warning of light to heavy rainfall. The intensity of showers is expected to decrease from August 26.

The rainfall has brought down the temperature by 3-4 degrees Celsius, offering much-needed relief. However, from August 27 to 29, only light showers are expected in scattered parts of the state, which could push temperatures up by 2-3 degrees over the next 72 hours. This would mean a return of the sticky weather due to the increased humidity after the showers.

The IMD forecast for August 25 read: "Partly cloudy becoming generally cloudy sky with few spells of rain/thundershower. The Maximum and Minimum temperatures will be around 33°C & 26°C, respectively."
