The departing monsoon is expected to bring rain to several districts in Uttar Pradesh.
The Meteorological Department forecasts rainfall in five to six districts, including Lakhimpur Kheri, Pilibhit, Balrampur, and Shravasti, from October 4 to 6.
This weather change is due to a western disturbance that is becoming active.
As it moves over Uttar Pradesh, it will strengthen because of the weakening monsoon winds, resulting in rain.
