Despite predominantly dry weather in the last 24 hours, some areas of western UP experienced light to moderate rainfall. Lucknow and its surrounding areas are expected to have clear skies.

Meanwhile, in Sant Kabir Nagar district, while the water level of the Saryu River has receded from danger levels, the receding waters have triggered rapid erosion along the riverbanks. Residents of villages along the river are reporting increased erosion, causing anxiety and threatening homes and agricultural lands. Villagers report the loss of crops like paddy, pointed gourd, and animal fodder due to flooding during the rise of water levels and now further devastation due to erosion.

The authorities are advising residents in the affected districts to take necessary precautions during the expected weather events.
