As of now also, Skymet Weather does not foresee any major reduction in the rains over Uttar Pradesh. In fact, the rains are expected to continue over the state. As per Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation is persisting over Bihar and adjoining areas. This system is very likely to intensify into a low-pressure area and would move in a westerly direction.
Along with this, the axis of the Monsoon trough is also passing via the region. In the wake of all these weather systems, widespread rains are likely to continue over the state for another couple of days. Although the rains would be of lesser intensity over West Uttar Pradesh.
