The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The India Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall in ten Uttar Pradesh districts on July 22, including Banda, Chitrakoot, Prayagraj, Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Jhansi and Lalitpur.
- Monsoon activity in the state is weakening because a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal has weakened and the monsoon trough has shifted south, so no special warnings are in place for July 23-25, when light to moderate showers are expected.
- Rainfall in the state till July 21 stands at 225.3 mm against a normal of 275.1 mm, an 18 percent deficit, with eastern UP short by 27 percent while western UP is near normal.
- Maximum temperatures are expected to rise over the next four to five days, and monsoon activity is likely to pick up again from July 26.
What to watch next
- Whether the July 22 heavy rain alert districts see flooding, waterlogged roads or rising river levels, as the IMD has flagged these risks
- Whether monsoon activity revives across UP from July 26 as forecast
- Whether the state's 18 percent rainfall deficit narrows in the last week of July
