Uttar Pradesh weather update: Day temperatures rise 3-6°C, cold returns today
Temperatures are expected to drop again by 2-3°C from January 12.
Daytime temperatures in Uttar Pradesh have risen by up to 6°C as fog thinned due to a Western Disturbance. On Sunday, residents of Uttar Pradesh saw some relief from the biting cold that has gripped the state over the past few days — till it crept back in on Monday.
According to experts in the India Meteorological Department at Lucknow, the state saw a slight rise in daytime temperatures and the fog dissipated.
“The combined effect of a Western Disturbance concentrated in the middle troposphere over northern Pakistan and adjoining Punjab, and an induced cyclonic circulation over Haryana extending up to the upper troposphere, led to increased atmospheric instability. This led to the fog layer dissipating early in the morning, resulting in a significant increase in day-time temperatures by an average of 3-6°C in most parts of the state, except for a few isolated places in the eastern plains,” said experts.
Due to changes in wind speed and direction caused by the Western Disturbance, dry weather and a gradual decrease in fog density are expected in the state. Minimum temperatures are likely to rise by 2-3°C during the next 24 hours, further improving cold conditions.
Experts, however, warned of a dip in temperature again.
As the influence of the Western Disturbance weakens and the state comes under the effect of northwesterly winds again, temperatures are expected to drop by 2-3°C from January 12.
While the cold is expected to increase on January 12 from evening and morning, IMD experts said the effect will be less pronounced during the day due to sunshine.
Some fog is expected across the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh.
