Monsoon likely to keep date with UP
Lucknow: While heat wave conditions abated across the state on Monday, if all goes well, southwest monsoon will keep its date with UP this year. Conditions are favourable for entry of the monsoon into east UP in next 2-3 days, said Met officials on Monday. Till 2019, normal monsoon arrival date in UP was June 15, but it was revised to June 18 in 2020 based on studies of 59 years data (1961-2019). The new normal monsoon arrival dates are: Kerala on June 1, UP on June 18 and Lucknow on June 23. Overcast and cloudy skies with rainfall at isolated places led to a drop in maximum temperatures by 3-10 degrees Celsius across the state. Orai was the hottest with 42.8 degrees Celsius. In the rest of the state, maximum temperatures dropped below 40 degrees Celsius. Similar conditions will prevail for the next few days. "There is a western disturbance over Pakistan and a cyclonic circulation over Punjab. Another cyclonic circulation is hovering over Bay Bengal. Further, there has been interaction between moisture laden easterlies and dry westerlies. All these factors have caused change in the weather conditions and made conditions favourable for the advancement of monsoon," said Mohammad Danish, senior scientist at the state Met department. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the southwest monsoon has further advanced into some parts of Gujarat; remaining parts of Konkan, Madhya Maharashtra and Telangana; some parts of Madhya Pradesh; some more parts of Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
