Rainfall Brings Colder Conditions, Day Temperatures Drop
Rainfall over three consecutive days under the influence of a cyclonic weather system has brought down temperatures across Uttar Pradesh. The impact was particularly noticeable during the daytime, with maximum temperatures falling by around 8°C in several areas.
Even after the rain stopped, cold winds continued to make conditions feel chilly. Morning fog and cloudy skies further added to the cold, particularly during the early hours.
Light Rain Likely in These Five Districts
According to the weather forecast, five districts in eastern Uttar Pradesh may receive light rainfall. These include:
- Ballia
- Ghazipur

Residents in these districts should remain alert to changing weather conditions. Farmers are also advised to protect harvested crops and agricultural produce kept in the open from possible rainfall.
Fog Disrupts Normal Activities in Lucknow and Other Cities

In districts where rainfall is expected, farmers should move harvested crops and stored grains to a safe, covered location. Planning agricultural activities according to local weather conditions can also help prevent weather-related losses.
