    What's the story

    Another bout of thunderstorms hit UP, Bihar and Jharkhand yesterday, leaving 40 dead and many others injured, reports said.

    While 19 deaths were reported from Bihar, Jharkhand accounted for 12 and UP, nine.

    Stormy conditions are expected to continue in some parts, IMD said.

    Earlier this month, more than 170 people were killed in sudden and intense thunderstorms and dust storms across North India.

    Prediction

    Heavy rains and winds likely to continue in the region

    Lightning injured as many as 28 people in Jharkhand, and killed nine in UP in areas including Unnao, Rae Bareli and Kanpur.

    In Jharkhand, high-speed winds and heavy rains uprooted trees and electricity poles, killing 12.

    The IMD has said heavy rains and gusty winds are expected to lash parts of UP. In Bihar, wind speeds are likely to touch 50-70 kmph.

    In Kerala, advanced monsoon brings cheer

    These developments come even as the southwest-monsoon arrived in Kerala three days before schedule, bringing cheer to agriculturists.

    The weather department has predicted good rainfall this year unlike 2017, when over 60% of the country couldn't gain from adequate rainfall.

    "Rainfall was witnessed in many parts of (Kerala) and Lakshadweep. Conditions are conducive for further advancement of clouds," said IMD Regional Director K Santosh.
