Key Questions Answered
The India Meteorological Department has issued heavy rain warnings for Uttarakhand, West Bengal and Sikkim, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
The active weather activity is being driven by multiple systems, including a western disturbance over north India and cyclonic circulations across Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, along with a trough extending from the Gulf of Mannar.
Lucknow's flood situation is primarily linked to delayed runoff from heavy rain upstream, which continues to affect low-lying areas as the Gomti river swells.
