The reach of monsoon rains in Uttar Pradesh is once again set to contract for a few days. According to the Meteorological Department, starting Thursday, rainfall will be primarily confined to the western Terai districts. This pattern is likely to persist until August 3. During this period, most parts of the state are expected to receive only light to moderate and scattered rainfall.

The Meteorological Department forecasts that easterly winds blowing at speeds of 20 to 30 km/h will prevail for two days starting Thursday. Good rainfall is expected in the Terai districts, including Saharanpur and Bijnor. Meanwhile, light rain may occur at isolated places in the southern districts, areas bordering Madhya Pradesh, and some other regions. Currently, no heavy rainfall warning has been issued for any part of the state.

The lack of rain will lead to increased heat and sweltering conditions in several districts, including the Awadh and Purvanchal regions. According to the Meteorological Department, both day and night temperatures are likely to rise in these areas. Along with the heat, humidity levels will also increase.

On Wednesday, Kanpur recorded the highest rainfall at 81 mm. This was followed by Meerut (80.8 mm), Bijnor (72 mm), and Muzaffarnagar (68.3 mm). Atul Kumar Singh, a senior scientist at the Regional Meteorological Centre, stated that the monsoon trough is currently in a normal position. However, it is likely to shift northward again around August 3 or 4, potentially triggering another spell of widespread and good rainfall across the state.
