Rainfall is also expected today in multiple eastern and southern districts such as Jhansi, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Azamgarh, and Deoria. No significant change in temperatures is expected for the next 24 hours, though a 2–4°C drop is likely thereafter.

Flood Situation Worsens In 17 UP Districts

Continuous rainfall has led to floods in over 17 districts. Rising water levels in the Ganga and Yamuna rivers have submerged hundreds of villages, severing road connectivity. The administration has launched rescue operations, distributing food and medicines to affected populations. Rainfall is expected to persist until August 6, after which it may gradually subside.
