UP Weather Alert 27 September 2023: Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms Forecast for Next 48 Hours
By Prime News Network | 27 September 2023
Despite the official monsoon withdrawal, Uttar Pradesh and several other northern and western regions remain under high alert for heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and widespread lightning through 28 September. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued timely warnings to brace for potential weather disruptions.
IMD Monsoon Retreat Update
The monsoon withdrawal from the Indian subcontinent is nearly complete. However, localized weather systems continue to wreak havoc, particularly in UP. Residents are advised to monitor real-time weather updates for flood-prone areas and urban hotspots.
UP Rain Forecast: Intense Thunderstorms Expected
Actionable alerts highlight heavy rain and thunderstorm activity across UP on 27 and 28 September 2023. The department notes active lightning strikes persisting over eastern Rajasthan for a full week, compounding storm risks in neighboring regions.
The low-pressure system that crossed the southern coast near Gopalpur today has relocated over central Odisha. It is expected to weaken steadily over South Odisha and Chhattisgarh within 24 hours. This shift drives intensified monsoon flows toward western and northern India.
Regional Breakdown: Heavy Rainfall in West & Central India
Western India braces for successive extreme rainfall events:
- Maharashtra (27-29 Sep): Heavy to very heavy showers, with northern Konkan and central districts facing peak downpours on 28-29 Sep
- Gujarat (28-30 Sep): Widespread heavy rains, followed by extremely heavy rainfall in Saurashtra and Kutch (29 Sep)
- Central India witnesses multiple heavy rain windows across:
- Indore, Vidarbha (27 Sep, 2-3 Oct)
- Eastern Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Sikkim (27 Sep, 2-3 Oct)
- Chhattisgarh (27-30 Sep)
Eastern & Southern India Facing Cascading Rain Alerts
From 27-30 September, Andaman & Nicobar Islands will experience continuous pre-monsoon-type showers. Meanwhile, North East India remains on red alert:
- Assam & Meghalaya (27-30 Sep, 2-3 Oct)
- Nagaland, Manipur (28-30 Sep)
- Arunachal Pradesh (1-3 Oct)
Extreme winter rainfall activity intensifies across South India:
- Tamil Nadu, Coastal Andhra (27 Sep)
- Kerala & Mahé (27-28 Sep peak)
- South Interior Karnataka (27 Sep, 1-3 Oct)
Weather Tech Watch: Low-Pressure Zone Weakening
The southern trough that generated recent deluges has entered a weakening phase. However, residual moisture may trigger sporadic cloudbursts across residual storm cones in:
- Maharashtra: Jalna, Aurangabad divisions
- Gujarat: Saurashtra-Kutch periphery
- Central MP: Malwa-Nimar zones
As monsoon retreat phase storms persist, Prime News Network urges citizens to follow rescue protocols and avoid low-lying regional areas. Emergency services have been placed on Red Cross coordination to mitigate rainfall-induced disasters.
