The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast significant rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds for Uttar Pradesh in the coming 24 hours, issuing an orange alert for areas including Lucknow and Kanpur. Wind speeds are expected to reach 40 to 60 km/h, with moderate rain and isolated hailstorms likely. This warning follows devastating storms that recently caused 104 deaths across the state, particularly in districts such as Prayagraj, Sant Ravidas Nagar, and Mirzapur. The storms uprooted trees, damaged homes, and led to the collapse of walls, prompting Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to direct officials to provide immediate assistance and compensation to affected families. Reports indicate that 130 livestock were lost, and 98 homes were damaged. In response to the ongoing weather challenges, the Union Minister of State for Science and Technology recently launched two advanced weather forecasting systems aimed at enhancing local weather predictions across the country.
