Cyclone Tauktae | The impact of cyclone 'Toute' in the Arabian Sea will be seen in many districts of Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. Due to low wind pressure and western disturbance, there are chances of rain with thunderstorms here. At the same time, there is a warning of heavy rains with hailstorm falling in various UP western districts including Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor and Saharanpur.

This relieved people of the sticky heat and the mercury slid to 7-9 degrees below normal. Director JP Gupta said that there will be no impact of the storm like Maharashtra and Gujarat. But due to western disturbances and toutes, the air pressure will be very low. This is expected to cause strong winds. It will also rain at some places.

The Meteorological Department has also issued an alert for heavy rains in most parts of West UP. During this period, thunderstorms will move with a speed of 40-50 km per hour and in some places hail can also occur. In all these areas, the Meteorological Department has issued an Orange Alert.
