Uttar Pradesh Weather

The state has been facing intense heatwave conditions for the past several days. Major cities including Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Prayagraj, Varanasi are witnessing intense heat and humidity. Day time temperatures have consistently exceeded 40 degrees Celsius in most parts of the state.

Why Is The Weather Changing?

According to the Lucknow Meteorological Centre, anticyclonic activity is currently forming over central India, causing hot and dry westerly winds to blow over southern Uttar Pradesh.

This is the main reason the state is under the grip of intense heat and heatwaves conditions. However, easterly winds are now getting active in the lower troposphere, bringing moisture from the Bay of Bengal.

Meanwhile, a new western disturbance is also expected to develop over Northern India. When these two systems collide with each other, rain, storms and thunderstorms are expected.

A period of rain and storm may begin on May 28.
