During the next 48 hours, some places like Varanasi, Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Chandoli, Pratapgarh, Azamgarh and Gorakhpur may receive good rains. Also, scattered rains are possible over Hardoi, Pratapgarh, Kanpur, Lucknow, and Bahraich.
In the western districts of Uttar Pradesh, the intensity of the rains would be less and showers will be seen in patches during this period. Meerut, Agra, Aligarh, and Bareilly may receive isolated rain. The rainfall activities would start to reduce over East Uttar Pradesh September 28 onward.
