UP braces for another cyclone, heavy rain alert on 29, 30 October
The Story in Brief
The weather in Uttar Pradesh is set to change again as a cyclonic storm forming over the Bay of Bengal is likely to bring extremely heavy rain in parts of eastern UP and the central region on 29 and 30 October. The meteorological department has warned that several districts may receive heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds of 50 to 60 kmph on 29 October.
The spell of thunderstorms and rain is expected to continue until 31 October. The cyclone is the latest weather system to become active over the state in recent days.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The forecast of heavy rain and strong winds in eastern and central UP on 29 and 30 October puts districts already under pressure from recent weather events on notice. The meteorological department has not yet named the storm or specified the districts most at risk, leaving local administrations to prepare for a broad alert zone. With the system active until 31 October, farmers and residents in low-lying areas face the most direct impact. The key unknown is whether the rain will be concentrated enough to cause flooding, given the short duration of the alert period.
