Five-Day Rainfall Outlook for Key Eastern UP Cities:
The available warning provides a regional forecast rather than city-specific rainfall amounts. Therefore, no fixed rainfall figures in millimetres can be stated for Varanasi, Prayagraj, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh and Mirzapur. However, these areas should remain alert for rainfall and thunderstorm activity between August 31 and September 4, particularly during periods of intense weather.
Western Uttar Pradesh Also Likely to Receive Heavy Rain:
Western Uttar Pradesh is expected to experience thunderstorms and squall-like conditions on August 31. From September 1 to 6, heavy rainfall is likely across the region.
