IMD Clears East UP Rain Alert Today; No Warning Through 4 October

The India Meteorological Department has wiped the colour off its East Uttar Pradesh subdivision warning for Monday, 28 September. Day 1 through Day 7 on the official table now read No warning, covering 28 September to 4 October after a week that carried Heavy and Extremely Heavy Rain language on earlier issue dates.
According to the official East UP subdivision-wise warning with Date of Issue 28 September 2026, Day 1 (28 September), Day 2 (29 September), Day 3 (30 September), Day 4 (1 October), Day 5 (2 October), Day 6 (3 October) and Day 7 (4 October) all show No warning.
That is a clean step from Sunday's product. The 27 September table still carried Heavy Rain with thunderstorm, lightning and squall on Day 1, with a clear stretch only from 28 September through 3 October. Monday's revision removes today's Heavy Rain cell and extends the quiet window through 4 October. Saturday's chart had Extremely Heavy Rain on the 26th; those successive step-downs now leave the East UP board blank on the subdivision-wise colour warning for a full week.
For Varanasi the practical reading is simple. The official East UP warning that covered the city through the soaked weekend is off the chart through early October on this issue. Ordinary September showers can still fall. What the table no longer carries is a Heavy or Extremely Heavy colour cell, or the thunderstorm, lightning and squall language that sat on Sunday's Day 1.
Farmers and transporters moving loads through the Purvanchal belt toward Varanasi mandis will treat the clear window as a planning aid, not a guarantee of dry roads. Low lanes and underpasses that took water through Saturday's Extremely Heavy day and Sunday's Heavy cell can still hold residual flooding even when the warning colour is gone. Outdoor cable work and open terrace jobs lose the formal hazard flag, but local showers remain possible in late September.
West Uttar Pradesh carries its own row on the same issue date; this brief sticks to the East UP cells that cover Varanasi's meteorological subdivision. The desk is publishing straight from the IMD subdivision-wise warning page with Date of Issue 28 September 2026. No local rain totals are invented here.
Civic crews clearing residual water and fallen debris from the weekend's Heavy and Extremely Heavy days will still work through the clear-warning window. The IMD table going quiet does not erase Saturday's Extremely Heavy soak or Sunday's Heavy cell; it only removes the formal colour warning from Monday through 4 October on this issue date.
Readers who need the primary text should open the official East Uttar Pradesh cells and check Day 1 through Day 7 rather than rely on secondary summaries. If a later product puts Heavy Rain or thunderstorm language back on any day in this window, that issue will supersede today's table. Until then, treat 28 September through 4 October as no warning on the official East UP chart.
