July 21, 2017 4:23 PM |

Rain in Uttar Pradesh

Southwest Monsoon has been resulting in on and off Monsoon rains over Uttar Pradesh. Several parts of Uttar Pradesh have received good rains but these rains were not fairly widespread including the southeastern districts such as Varanasi, Allahabad, and Jhansi.

Few places in northwest Uttar Pradesh such as Bareilly also received good rains. In the last 24 hours from 8.30 am on Thursday, Allahabad received 27.5 mm of rain, Bareilly 27 mm, Fursatganj 19.4 mm, Jhansi 16.8 mm and Varanasi 12.2 mm.
Since last few days, spot rains have been occurring over the state but typical Monsoon rains which continue for several hours or sometimes throughout the day have remained absent.

At present, the axis of Monsoon trough is running from South of Uttar Pradesh via Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand. But now this axis of Monsoon trough is shifting towards North over Uttar Pradesh.

We expect moderate showers to commence over many parts of Uttar Pradesh particularly Varanasi, Jhansi, Kanpur, and Allahabad. Gradually, the intensity of rain will increase and most parts of East Uttar Pradesh will start receiving good rains. While one or two places may receive heavy showers also, intensity will be more over East Uttar Pradesh in comparison to West Uttar Pradesh.

In the coming days, the rain statistics of the state will improve. At present, East Uttar Pradesh is rain deficient by 1 and West Uttar Pradesh is witnessing a rain deficit of 8 percent. We expect light to moderate rains to continue over many parts of the state till July 24. By that time, it is expected that both the parts of the state will become rain surplus.
