India Jul 09, 2026

Heads up, Uttar Pradesh!
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has put out a weather alert for all 75 districts, warning of heavy rainfall from July 10 to 12.
Eastern Uttar Pradesh (Purvanchal) is under an orange alert for thunderstorms and very heavy rain, so expect downpours to peak July 10-11, with a real risk of flooding and waterlogging in some areas.

Eastern UP cities get heaviest rain

Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Kushinagar, and Jaunpur are likely to see the heaviest rain.
Noida, Lucknow, Meerut, and Kanpur Nagar will also get storms and heavy showers.
Down south (Agra, Banda), you'll probably just get lighter rain.

Authorities warn of localized flooding

Authorities are asking everyone to stay updated on the weather (maybe check your apps!), avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rains, and watch out if you're in flood-prone spots.
Localized flooding could occur in low-lying areas, so take care and stay alert this week!
