  "content": "As the southwest monsoon keeps widening its footprint across the country, rainfall is picking up across several states. For much of northwest India, the change brings welcome relief, with the recent spell of blistering heat finally beginning to loosen its grip. The weather office says a western disturbance is keeping temperatures in this belt below normal, offering people a meaningful break from the heat.\n\nWhat today holds for Uttar Pradesh\nAccording to the IMD, western Uttar Pradesh is likely to stay overcast on June 15 — that is, today. Several pockets could see gusty winds and light showers accompanied by thunder. The same western disturbance is pulling the mercury down across the state, which is why the air currently feels cooler than usual.\n\nHeavy-rain warning for eastern UP\nThe sternest warning has been issued for eastern Uttar Pradesh. The IMD has declared an orange alert for Kushinagar, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Deoria, Mau, Ballia, Ghazipur, Chandauli, Varanasi, Mirzapur and Sonbhadra, flagging the risk of heavy rain with strong winds and thunderstorms. Varanasi and Gorakhpur, in particular, are being watched closely under the orange alert for rain.\n\nYellow alert for Noida, Ghaziabad and western districts\nThe districts in the western belt have been placed under a yellow alert. These include Saharanpur, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Baghpat, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Mathura, Mahamayanagar, Agra, Firozabad, Etawah, Jalaun, Jhansi, Lalitpur and Mahoba, where storms and rain are expected.\n\nHow long will the cool spell last\nThe regional meteorological centre says that from June 14, rain and storm activity across the state will gradually start easing off. No major weather alert is anticipated over the next few days. According to the department, the coolness people are currently enjoying could fade within a day or two — in other words, this comfortable patch is not expected to stretch on for long.\n\nCentral India — Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha\nIn central India, rain and thunderstorm activity is likely to intensify over Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Vidarbha region on Monday. Parts of both eastern and western Madhya Pradesh may witness storms and rain along with strong winds. Chhattisgarh, too, is expected to record good rainfall at many places.\n\nMonsoon most active over east and northeast India\nMonsoon activity is expected to remain strongest across eastern and northeastern India. Many parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Sikkim and Odisha could see moderate to heavy rain. Meanwhile, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura are likely to continue receiving widespread rainfall in the days ahead.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• Across India: With the monsoon advancing, rainfall will pick up across north, central and northeast India, so check the weather and local alerts before you travel.\n• In Uttar Pradesh: Eastern UP — including Varanasi, Gorakhpur and 13 districts — is under an orange alert for heavy rain, while Noida, Ghaziabad and other western districts face a yellow alert for storms; stay cautious when stepping out, though this cool spell may end within a day or two.",
