Lucknow, 09

March (HS): The weather in Uttar Pradesh is constantly changing. According to

the Meteorological Department, temperatures all set to rise above 40 degree C

in the coming days. On Sunday, different parts of the state experienced bright

sunshine and increasing heat, while other parts experienced fog in the morning.

Weather experts predict that this time the heat in the state may be more than

normal. According to the Meteorological Department, the trough passing through

Bihar and the easterly wind direction are affecting the state's weather. Due to

this, temperatures are rising in some districts, while in others, light fog is

visible in the morning. Agra was the hottest district in the state on Sunday,

where the maximum temperature was recorded at 37.6 degrees Celsius. This was

followed by Jhansi at 36.3 degrees Celsius and Banda at 35.8 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile,

fog reduced visibility in Saharanpur to about 300 meters in the morning.

Prayagraj and Varanasi recorded visibility of about 600 meters. Light fog was

also observed in Gorakhpur and Amethi in the morning. According to Atul Kumar

Singh, senior scientist at the Regional Meteorological Center, no major weather

system is currently active in the state. Therefore, day and night temperatures

are expected to gradually increase over the next three to four days. After

this, signs of a change in the weather may appear.

Large

areas of Uttar Pradesh are set to have exceptionally warm weather in the coming

days, with maximum temperatures in several districts forecast to exceed 35

degrees Celsius, according to the India Meteorological Department. According to

the meteorological office, no active weather systems are expected to strike the

state during the next week, resulting in dry conditions and a steady increase

in maximum temperatures of roughly 2-3 degrees Celsius.

With

temperatures already above normal, persistent dry conditions are predicted to

make weather across the state unusually hot for this time of year. On Sunday,

the highest temperature in Lucknow was 32.7 degrees Celsius, 2.2 degrees over

average, while the minimum temperature was 19.7 degrees Celsius, or 5.9 degrees

above normal. No rain was reported during the day.

The

meteorological service has projected a bright day with clear sky in Lucknow and

surrounding regions on Monday, with maximum and lowest temperatures expected to

be about 34 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius, respectively. Several

cities in the state have already recorded high midday temperatures. Agra's

highest temperature was 37.6 degrees Celsius, while Jhansi, Banda, and

Prayagraj also saw temperatures above the seasonal normal. Officials predicted

the temperature is anticipated to rise higher in the following days, with

several regions of the state expected to exceed 35 degrees Celsius if the dry

period continues. So yet, no weather warning has been issued, and rainfall is

unlikely during this time period.
