Headline: Cyclone “Midhili” (Formerly “Montha”) Threatens Uttar Pradesh, Triggering Rainfall and Temperature Drop
Lucknow/Shimla, October 26, 2024 – Uttar Pradesh is bracing for a period of fluctuating weather and the impact of Cyclone “Midhili,” (Earlier referred to as “Montha”) according to the Meteorological Department. Increased cloud activity, fueled by moisture from the Arabian Sea and a weather system developing in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to bring significant changes in the coming days.
Senior Scientist Atul Kumar Singh from the Regional Meteorological Center, Lucknow, stated that the deep depression in the Bay of Bengal is rapidly intensifying into a severe cyclonic storm, now named “Midhili.” Moving in a north-westerly direction, the cyclone is projected to make landfall near Kakinada on the Andhra Pradesh coast around the evening or night of October 28th as a powerful cyclonic storm.
The most significant impact of Cyclone “Midhili” is anticipated in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. From October 29th to 31st, several districts in Purvanchal bordering Bihar, as well as the Bundelkhand region, are likely to experience thunderstorms and rainfall. A heavy rainfall is forecasted for Varanasi on October 30th. The increased cloud activity is expected to bring down the maximum temperature by 4 to 5 degree Celcius in the next two days.
In Himachal Pradesh, the Meteorological Center in Shimla predicts clear weather until October 31st. However, the activation of a Western Disturbance on October 27th may bring rain and snowfall to parts of the state. No major changes in maximum and minimum temperatures are expected over the next 2-3 days.
Residents in the affected regions are advised to stay updated with weather forecasts and take necessary precautions.
