Parts of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana will likely receive light to moderate intensity rainfall today (October 24, 2021), said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday.

"Light to moderate intensity rain would occur over and adjoining areas of Narwana, Rajaund, Mahendargarh (Haryana) Deoband, Bahajoi, Narora (U.P.) during next 2 hours," it added.
