IMD Forecasts Rain and Thunderstorms in Western Uttar Pradesh This Week

India Meteorological Department has issued a weather outlook for Uttar Pradesh for the week of 11‑16 October 2026. Western Uttar Pradesh will see scattered rain from 11 to 16 October and thunderstorms on 11 October. The forecast says the western districts will be mainly dry on 17 October. Eastern Uttar Pradesh is expected to stay dry from 11 to 14 October. Light rain or scattered showers are likely on 15 and 16 October in the eastern region, with another dry spell on 17 October. The department links the weather pattern to a trough line extending from northwest Rajasthan to northeast Madhya Pradesh and to cyclonic circulation in the lower troposphere. It advises farmers to protect their crops, adjust harvesting schedules and take precautions against strong winds and rain. ## Context The forecast reflects a typical monsoon transition period when western and eastern parts of a state can experience different weather due to shifting low‑pressure systems.
