The weather in North India is taking a dramatic turn once again. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), several districts in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttarakhand are expected to witness rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds. These weather changes are likely to affect daily life, farming activities, and travel plans across the region.
In Uttar Pradesh, over 37 districts are on alert for wind speeds of up to 50 km/h, while Bihar continues to wait for the delayed monsoon. Uttarakhand, meanwhile, is expected to experience cool showers and gusty winds, adding a pleasant touch to the hill state's climate.
UP braces for strong winds and rain
The IMD has issued warnings for 37 districts across Uttar Pradesh. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and strong winds at speeds of up to 50 km/h are expected in cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Meerut, and Noida.
This change in mausam could affect transport, power supply, and outdoor activities. Farmers have been advised to protect their crops and secure loose equipment.
Bihar still waiting for monsoon
The much-awaited monsoon has yet to enter Bihar. According to meteorologists, a weakening low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is delaying its arrival. Cities like Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, and Darbhanga continue to experience heat and humidity.
The mausam department has predicted that the monsoon may arrive within the next 2–3 days, but no definitive signs have been seen yet. This delay could impact sowing activities for the upcoming agricultural season.
Rain cools down Uttarakhand
Rain is expected in parts of Uttarakhand such as Dehradun, Mussoorie, Nainital, and Rishikesh. The IMD forecasts light to moderate showers on June 15, accompanied by gusty winds at 30 to 40 km/h.
The weather department has advised tourists to check conditions before heading to hill stations, especially due to slippery roads and low visibility.
Windy patterns and temperature dips
The entire northern belt is experiencing a mixed mausam pattern, with sudden shifts from heat to wind to cloudy skies. According to weather experts, this transition is part of the pre-monsoon cycle and often precedes seasonal rain.
People may experience temporary relief from the heat, but caution is still necessary due to lightning and local storms. Schools, transport services, and daily commuters should remain updated.
