Hills in Nepal may also receive few good spells of rain. With this, northern districts of Bihar may once again witness flood like situation.

As far as Uttar Pradesh is concerned, by tomorrow, northern parts of Uttar Pradesh will begin to witness good showers as the Western Disturbance will also move along the foothills.
