During the past 24 hours,heavy rainfall was reported in various districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh,including Basti,Gorakhpur,Maharajganj and Bareilly. (See Box)

At Lucknow,the shower led to water logging in various parts of city,including Rana Pratap Marg,Hussainganj,Azad Nagar and Indira Nagar. The rain,however,brought relief to farmers in the state who were waiting to sow paddy in their fields.

According to Met officials,light rain or thundershowers are likely to take place in east UP and Lucknow in the next 24 hours.
