Rain Dance:

The possibility of rain is a good sign for the state which is reeling under an average rain deficit of 43 %. The deficit is more in eastern UP than in western parts. “There is an area of low pressure above the state which will continue to draw clouds and cause rains,” said Gupta. According to experts, the area of low pressure is a result of relatively high temperatures.

Meanwhile, the spell of rainfall continued for the second day on Saturday with normal rainfall in many parts of the state. While the state capital received 0.4 mm rainfall on Saturday, the highest rainfall was in Ghazipur. Normal rainfall was also reported in Varanasi, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar districts.

The maximum temperature in the city was recorded at 30 degrees Celsius while the minimum was a comfortable 25 degrees. The day temperature in other parts of UP also remained under 40 degrees Celsius with the maximum day temperature of 35.6 degrees recorded in Agra.
