Bareilly Weather Update: Unseasonal Hailstorm, Rain and Forecast Timeline

Sudden Weather Shift in Bareilly After Western Disturbance

Bareilly weather changed sharply from the evening of Wednesday, October 7, 2026. An active Western Disturbance brought heavy rain followed by unseasonal hailstorms that lasted about an hour in several parts of the city. Local reports placed the hail in CB Ganj, Parsakhera and Mirganj, with rain continuing intermittently through Thursday morning.

The shift brought immediate relief from humidity but also concern for standing paddy crops in the rural belt. According to the weather department data cited by Amar Ujala, 39.4 mm of rain was recorded in the preceding 12 hours https://www.amarujala.com/video/uttar-pradesh/bareilly/video-weather-changes-again-in-bareilly-2026-10-08.
