Monsoon lull: At 23%, city's rain deficit 4 times that of UP
The city's actual average rainfall is 200.7 mm, while the normal is 261.4 mm. Uttar Pradesh is facing a rainfall deficit of 5%, while Lucknow's shortfall is more than four times that of the state.
According to weathermen, Lucknow has experienced a similar rainfall trend for the last 2-3 years, with a deficit recorded in June and July, followed by rainfall in the later months.
"The city has not received much rainfall so far because cyclonic circulations or low-pressure circulations, which lead to rainfall, are occurring in the southern part of the city.
The city will receive rain only when there is a cyclonic circulation or low pressure in the central and northern parts of the city. Since this has not happened, a rain deficit is being faced by Lucknow and the eastern part of the state," said senior scientist Danish Mohammad of the state met centre.
He said there is a possibility that the city may receive rain in the next 3-4 days, as there is low pressure in the Bay of Bengal, which will eventually bring some changes in weather conditions in the eastern part of UP, including Lucknow.

Four ambulances are treating at least five residents, most of them elderly with respiratory problems.
