Weather changes in Uttar Pradesh: The weather in Uttar Pradesh has undergone a significant shift. After battling the intense heat and humid winds of September, people are now beginning to feel cooler. Following the rain, daytime temperatures are gradually falling, and the cool morning and night temperatures have brought relief. However, the Meteorological Department has clearly warned that this relief will not be permanent. Strong winds, thunderstorms, and heavy rain may return from Friday.
Thursday’s Rains Bring Down the Temperature
On Thursday, heavy rains lashed many parts of Uttar Pradesh, bringing a slight chill to the weather. According to department data, the maximum daytime temperature was recorded at 33.4 degrees Celsius, while the minimum nighttime temperature was 24.8 degrees Celsius, about 1.4 degrees above normal. The humidity level reached 94 percent, making the atmosphere even more humid.
Thunderstorm Alert for Friday
The Indian Meteorological Department predicts cloudy skies from Friday morning. Rain is expected once or twice during the day. Winds gusting up to 40 to 50 kilometers per hour are expected, making the weather stormy in many areas. Similar weather instability is expected in the coming week.
Heavy Rain Warning for October 8th
According to weather experts, the weather in the state will continue to change frequently throughout the next week. A particularly heavy rain alert has been issued for October 8th. Thunderstorms, lightning, and lightning are also expected during this period.
Which Districts Will Be Most Impacted?
The rain and stormy winds are expected to be most severe in eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Bundelkhand region. Heavy rain is expected in Prayagraj, Pratapgarh, Kaushambi, Chitrakoot, Varanasi, Jaunpur, Chandauli, Mirzapur, and Sonbhadra districts. The Meteorological Department has also issued an alert in districts like Ghazipur, Ballia, Gorakhpur, Basti, Ayodhya, Siddharthnagar, Kushinagar, and Azamgarh.
In addition, Sultanpur, Ambedkarnagar, Rae Bareli, Fatehpur, Banda, Kanpur, Hamirpur, Jhansi, Lalitpur, Agra, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Etawah, Etah, Lakhimpur Kheri, Shravasti, Bahraich, Balrampur, and Sitapur are also likely to experience rain and lightning accompanied by strong winds.
Relief after the heat, but caution is necessary
Uttar Pradesh experienced the most intense heat and heatwaves this season. While temperatures continued to rise from June to August, the humidity in September troubled people. Now, rain and cool winds in early October have brought some relief. However, the department warns that it is essential to remain vigilant during sudden weather changes. Given the risk of strong winds and lightning, special precautions have been advised in rural areas and open spaces.
A Scene for the Coming Days
Meteorologists believe that the current changes indicate the onset of autumn. By mid-October, temperatures will drop further, and nights will become cooler. However, intermittent rain and stormy weather may be a source of concern until then.
For now, residents of Uttar Pradesh are teetering between relief and danger—relief from the heat, but the threat of strong winds and thunderstorms looms. The Meteorological Department is constantly monitoring the skies and alerting people with every update in the coming days.
