When will monsoon arrive in UP?
Gyan Prakash Singh, a meteorologist at BHU in Kashi, said – A strong cyclonic system is forming in South India, whose effect will also be seen in North India. Due to this, there is a possibility of good rain between June 20 and June 26. Monsoon has reached the border of Sikkim and West Bengal at the entrance of Bihar.
According to IMD, the conditions for its further progress remain favourable. Therefore, it can knock in Bihar in a day or two. The scheduled time for the monsoon to enter Bihar is 10 to 12 June. By 15 June, it usually reaches Patna and Ranchi and covers about half of Bihar and Jharkhand. Around 20 June, the monsoon enters the eastern border of UP and Uttarakhand. The monsoon will become active in the entire UP between 20 and 26 June.
BHU meteorologist Manoj Srivastava says that from June 16, drizzle and thunderstorm-like activities may start in both western and eastern UP. This is likely to cause a drop in temperature. Especially the effect of western disturbance will be seen in 35 districts of Purvanchal. This can be called pre-monsoon. Monsoon is likely to become active in entire UP between June 20-26.
