Weather Conditions Across Uttar Pradesh

In other parts of Uttar Pradesh, particularly in Lucknow, severe cold has been reported, with dense fog reducing visibility to as low as 50 meters. Due to this, an alert has been issued for cold westerly winds and fog in 45 districts across the state. Meteorologists predict that temperatures could drop to as low as 3°C in some areas. The weather is expected to remain dry in both western and eastern Uttar Pradesh over the next couple of days.

As the western disturbance intensifies next week, rain and thunderstorms are predicted in various parts of the state on January 21 and 22. The dense fog is expected to persist throughout Sunday, but meteorologists forecast that from Monday, strong westerly winds will help clear the fog. As a result, temperatures are expected to rise, and the sunshine will return. However, the cold winds will continue to affect the region, providing intermittent relief from the cold.

In Lucknow, the dense fog continued into Saturday morning, further exacerbating the cold. After some brief relief from the chill in the afternoon, the cold winds regained strength by evening, making the temperature drop again. The weather department warns that similar conditions will prevail in the coming days, with fog in the mornings and clear skies in the afternoon, although cold winds will persist.

With the Mahakumbh Mela in full swing, pilgrims are advised to stay prepared for the weather changes, particularly the foggy mornings.
