Several parts of northern and central India are witnessing continuous rainfall, affecting daily life and raising concerns over flooding in low-lying areas. Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are among the states facing the impact of rising water levels in rivers, while several other states are also expected to receive rainfall in the coming days.

On August 24, rainfall activity is expected to continue across several parts of northern India. Uttarakhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh are likely to receive more rain. In eastern India, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal may also witness rainfall at several places. Some areas of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh may receive heavy showers.

In central India, rainfall activity is expected to continue in Chhattisgarh as well. Madhya Pradesh is likely to receive rainfall at several places, with a heavy rainfall alert issued for 22 districts. The Jabalpur, Chambal and Narmadapuram divisions have already witnessed intense rainfall in several areas.

 Rain Creates Problems in Uttar Pradesh

Several parts of Uttar Pradesh are witnessing the impact of continuous rainfall. Eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Terai region are likely to receive more rain, while some districts of western Uttar Pradesh may also experience heavy showers.

In Lalitpur, a bridge built over the Sair drain was submerged following heavy rainfall. A motorcycle was reportedly swept away by the strong flow of water. In Ghaziabad, several roads were flooded after rainfall, leaving vehicles stranded. Some vehicles had to be removed with the help of tractors, trolleys and earth-moving equipment.

The water level of the Ganga in Varanasi is also rising rapidly. The increasing river level has raised concerns among people living in areas close to the river. Local authorities are keeping a close watch on the situation.

 Bihar Braces for More Rain

Rainfall activity remains strong in Bihar. According to the weather forecast, Gaya and East and West Champaran are likely to receive heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms on Monday.

Patna and around 20 other districts may witness scattered rainfall along with thunderstorms and lightning. Light to moderate rainfall is expected to continue across central parts of the state for the next two days.

With several areas already experiencing waterlogging, continued rainfall could create further difficulties for residents. The rising water levels of rivers are also a concern for communities living near riverbanks.

 Delhi Remains Humid Despite Rain

Delhi received rainfall on Sunday, but the showers did not bring complete relief from the humid conditions. High moisture levels in the atmosphere have resulted in uncomfortable and sticky weather.

Light rainfall is expected to continue in the national capital. Residents may continue to experience a combination of rain and high humidity over the next few days.

 Yellow Alert in 12 Rajasthan Districts

Rainfall activity is also continuing in Rajasthan. A yellow alert has been issued for 12 districts for Monday. Some areas may receive heavy showers.

However, the monsoon is expected to weaken further in the state from August 26-27. Weather conditions may therefore change over the next few days.

 Heavy Rain Alert in 22 Madhya Pradesh Districts

Madhya Pradesh has witnessed intense rainfall in several regions. Heavy showers were reported in parts of the Jabalpur, Chambal and Narmadapuram divisions on Sunday.

Following the rainfall, the weather department has issued a heavy rainfall alert for 22 districts of the state on Monday. Heavy showers could lead to waterlogging in low-lying areas and affect local traffic and daily activities.

Overall, monsoon activity remains strong across several parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and eastern India. With rainfall expected to continue in many areas, residents in flood-prone and low-lying regions are likely to remain particularly vulnerable to waterlogging and rising river levels.
