Weather To Change From Sunday
Starting July 20, the monsoon is expected to intensify across the state. Several districts in western UP may experience thunderstorms, lightning, and heavy rain. In some areas, alerts for very heavy rainfall have also been issued.
Due to the ongoing rainfall, temperatures have dipped across the state. Over the next 48 hours, maximum temperatures are likely to drop by 2–4 degress Celsius, while minimum temperatures may fall by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. No significant changes in temperature are expected after that.
Rising Water Levels In Rivers
The continuous rainfall has led to a rise in water levels of rivers and streams across UP, sparking fears of flooding in low-lying areas. In Varanasi, both the Ganga and Yamuna rivers have swelled, submerging several ghats. Even the popular Namo Ghat has been inundated, with water reaching knee-deep levels.
