Lucknow, Aug 3 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh is experiencing a spell of heavy rainfall, which is expected to continue for the next 24-36 hours without significant change, as per the meteorological department.
According to a press note from the meteorological department on Sunday, the active monsoon conditions are a result of a favourable synoptic situation.
The monsoon trough has shifted north of its normal position, passing through Shamli, Shahjahanpur, and Lucknow. Additionally, a cyclonic circulation over the northeastern part of the state, adjacent to Bihar, is contributing to the heavy rainfall.
Forecasters predict that the intensity of rain will gradually decrease from August 5, though a period of heavy rainfall is likely to persist until August 6.
From 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, several areas recorded significant rainfall. Siddharthnagar received 96 mm, Amethi 70.1 mm, Bareilly 66.6 mm, and Kaushambi 65.5 mm. The state capital, Lucknow, recorded 61.5 mm.
The rainfall caused a significant drop in temperatures, with Lucknow's maximum temperature falling to 28.5 degrees Celsius, which is 4.8 degrees Celsius below normal.
The forecast for Lucknow suggests moderate to heavy rainfall in most areas on Monday with temperatures expected to remain below average. PTI CDN MNK MNK

Rain drenches the Nilgiris
UDHAGAMANDALAM: Heavy rain drenched the Nilgiris district on Tuesday, with Ooty receiving 37.1 mm of rain in eight hours from 8 am to 4 pm. Porthimund and Parson's Valley recorded 43 mm and 45 mm of rain, respectively. As a result, Ooty taluk experienced the highest rainfall among the six taluks in the district. Since the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a red alert for the region, the Nilgiris district administration declared a holiday for schools on Tuesday. All tourist spots in the district, including the Government Botanical garden, Government Rose Garden in Ooty, Sim's Park, Lamb's Rock and Dolphin's Nose in Coonoor were closed for the day following instructions from district collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru. Revenue officials reported no tree falls in the district, except for two incidents in Coonoor. While the day was predominantly wet, there were intervals of dry weather that allowed residents and visitors to move around the Ooty town. The town experienced a maximum temperature of 15 -14 degrees Celsius. The Nilgiris region has been experiencing consistent rain for the past two months. M Ganesh, a local farmer, expressed concern, saying, 'Since carrots are cultivated year-round and this is the harvesting period, too much rain could spoil the yield.' Horticulture officials indicated that the rain benefited seedlings planted in various gardens a week ago.

Definition to frequency: 4 things to know about Uttarakhand cloudbursts
A cloudburst in Uttarkashi has triggered flash floods, damaging villages in Dharali. Here's what causes such events and why the region is so vulnerable. read more The screengrab shows a deluge triggered by a cloudburst striking Uttarakhand's Kheer Ganga on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. (Photo: PTI) A cloudburst in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district has caused flash floods, wreaking havoc in high-altitude villages of Dharali. What happens in cloudbursts? A cloudburst causes an enormous amount of rainfall across a limited area within an extremely short span of time. How much sudden rain qualifies as a cloudburst? According to the India Meteorological Department, rain falling at a rate of over 100 millimetres an hour with strong winds and lightning across 20-30 square kilometres of area is termed a cloudburst. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, in a 2023 paper, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Jammu, and National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, define cloudburst as a 'sudden downpour of rainfall in a range of 100-250 millimetres an hour in a short span covering a smaller spatial extent similar to one square kilometre'. It is published in the International Handbook of Disaster Research. More from India Indo-American NISAR satellite set for launch: Huge potential to unlock Is a cloudburst in Uttarkashi unusual? Occurrence of extreme weather events is frequent for locations at elevation 1000-2000 metres, 'which are densely populated valley folds of the Himalayas,' the 2023 paper says. Uttarkashi is located at about 1,160 metres above sea level. Further, cloudburst events per unit area are 'very high in Uttarakhand', compared to other regions in the Indian Himalayas, with recent events being more severe and impacting more communities, it says. Is this the first such incident in Uttarakhand? On July 26, heavy rains lashed Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district, causing boulders to slide down a hillside and blocking the trekking route to Kedarnath. Over 1,600 Chardham pilgrims were evacuated to safety. A sudden cloudburst on June 29 at Silai Band on the Barkot-Yamunotri Marg in Uttarakhand left an under-construction hotel site damaged and eight to nine workers missing, according to officials.
