Uttar Pradesh wakes to a yellow alert this Sunday, September 6. IMD warns of heavy rain and lightning in 24 districts. Western belts lead risk; eastern pockets stay sensitive. Expect short, intense bursts that flood low stretches and slow commutes. Keep a buffer and track nowcasts through the day.
IMD’s sub-division forecast places heavy rain over West and East Uttar Pradesh today. Risk eases in the west from Monday, while some east districts linger. Thunderstorms could deliver gusts near 60 kmph in active cells. Use the three-hour bands: 6–9am, 9–noon, noon–3pm, evening.

UP rivers on watch: Rapti, Ghaghra, Ganga, Yamuna
Central Water Commission readings this week show stress points along the Ganga and Ghaghra. The Ganga topped danger marks at Ballia, while Ghaghra at Turtipar stayed elevated. Rapti Barrage forecasts hover near warning band, below danger, yet demand vigilance. Low-lying stretches near Yamuna’s tributaries need caution today.
Commute and flights: NH-19/NH-27 tips, power and drainage
Budget 30–45 minutes extra on NH-19 and NH-27 during heavy bursts. Avoid underpasses, flyover ramps, and tree-lined lanes in lightning or squalls. For flights and trains, track airport and rail alerts, and carry power backups. Report outages or waterlogging to city helplines. Follow district magistrate handles for any class or route advisories.
