The weather pattern of Uttar Pradesh has once again changed completely and just before the departure of monsoon, clouds have started showing their aggressive attitude in most parts of the state. According to the latest warning issued by the Zonal Science Center and Meteorological Department (IMD), a high alert has been issued in Uttar Pradesh for heavy rainfall, strong winds and lightning at many places till September 27. The general public, troubled by the scorching heat and scorching sun for the last few days, may have got respite from the heat due to this heavy rain, but this continuous monsoon activity has also increased the worries of the farmers and common citizens. Meteorologists say that due to the low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal and Central India, clouds have gathered in both the eastern and western divisions of Uttar Pradesh, due to which this period of continuous rain is likely to continue with full intensity for the next one or two days.
Intermittent rain has been continuing for the last 24 hours in many other districts including the state capital Lucknow, due to which the weather has become pleasant but problems like waterlogging and traffic jams have also started appearing on the roads. The Meteorological Department has predicted heavy to extremely heavy rainfall, especially in the Terai areas and the districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh, in view of which the district administrations have been fully alerted. This is a very sensitive time for farmers as paddy crops are on the verge of ripening or are standing in the fields, and the rain coupled with strong winds poses a risk of crop failure. Let us know in detail that according to the latest update of the Meteorological Department, in which districts the maximum impact of heavy rains is going to be seen.
In which districts of UP, alert of heavy rain has been issued?
According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, during this bad weather which will last till September 27, heavy to very heavy rains can be recorded in many districts of Uttar Pradesh. The major districts for which special warning has been issued include Gorakhpur, Deoria, Ballia, Varanasi, Sant Kabir Nagar, Basti, Maharajganj, Siddharthnagar, Gonda, Bahraich, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Barabanki, Lucknow, Ayodhya, Sultanpur and Ambedkar Nagar. Apart from this, there is a possibility of rain and thundershowers in some areas of western Uttar Pradesh like Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Pilibhit and Moradabad. The Meteorological Department has advised the general public not to step out of their homes unnecessarily during bad weather unless absolutely necessary and completely avoid taking shelter under trees or electric poles.
Special advisory from the administration for protection from lightning.
In this last phase of monsoon, thunder and lightning accompanied by lightning are emerging as the biggest threat. In the last few days, sad news of many casualties due to lightning has also come to light from different districts of the state.
