Lightning in Uttar Pradesh
Why Lucknow and UP need real-time lightning alerts
UP's flat Gangetic plain provides almost no natural shelter from fast-moving monsoon thunderstorms. Farm workers, labourers and rural communities across districts like Varanasi, Allahabad, Gorakhpur and Agra face the same risk as those in Lucknow during the kharif season.
Monsoon season: June–September
The south-west monsoon arrives in UP in late June and produces frequent afternoon thunderstorms through September. Setting a 25 km radius in Lucknow covers the main city and surrounding districts, giving 20–30 minutes of advance notice for most moving storm cells.
Pre-monsoon squalls: May–June
Western disturbances and pre-monsoon squalls can produce intense thunderstorms before the main monsoon arrives. These are sometimes more dangerous because they catch people off-guard after the dry summer.
Farm workers across UP
Millions of people work in UP's wheat and rice fields during the kharif season. A Telegram alert with the exact distance to the nearest strike gives field supervisors a concrete signal to pause work.
Construction and transport workers
Workers on Lucknow's metro expansion and ring road projects, as well as truck drivers on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, can use the bot to anticipate storm cells along their route.
