It is noteworthy that for some time now, the weather patterns have been changing suddenly in many parts of the country including Uttar Pradesh. At some places it is raining heavily and at other places hail is falling. Such unseasonal rains and hailstorms in a hot month like May have created problems for the people, especially for the poor and people living in rural areas.

The Meteorological Department has also issued a warning of strong thunderstorm, rain and lightning in many districts during the next 24 hours. The administration has appealed to people to stay indoors during inclement weather and stay away from open spaces, trees and electric poles.
