Lucknow: The mood of the weather is constantly changing in Uttar Pradesh. The Meteorological Department has issued an alert of rain and lightning in 65 districts of the state today. During this time, the wind can blow at a speed of 40 to 60 km per hour, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

Rain lashed 7 districts of the state in the last 24 hours. Maharajganj recorded the highest rainfall of 10.3 mm.

There was a strong storm in Varanasi on Friday. During this time, the wind blew at a speed of about 50 km per hour. A young man died due to lightning in the religious city. The Meteorological Department says that due to rain, the average temperature of the state has dropped by 2-3 degrees Celsius. Similar weather is expected to remain for the next 4 days.

Mercury Up During Nautapa

On Friday, Jhansi was the hottest city in UP. The maximum temperature here was recorded at 40.6 degrees. Nautapa is starting from Sunday. In such a situation, the mercury in UP can go up to 47 degrees. It has been told that Nautapa will remain from 25 May to 2 June. During this time the Sun is close to the Earth, due to which its rays fall directly and strongly.

This further increases the temperature. It is believed that there is a lot of heat in these 9 days. However, it is not necessary that this happens every year. Meteorologists say that like 2023, this time too the effect of Nautapa can be seen less in UP.

Rain Forecast For Lucknow

The period of sunshine and shade continues in UP's capital Lucknow since Saturday morning. The Meteorological Department estimates that today's maximum temperature can go up to 38 degrees and the minimum temperature can go up to 26 degrees. There is a possibility of light rain and thunder. The Meteorological Department has advised people to stay in a safe place during thunderstorms and strong winds. Do not stop in the open under trees or electric poles. Farmers have also been advised to take necessary steps to protect their fields and crops.

Storm Warning In West UP

The weather is likely to change once again from Saturday in Meerut, Ghaziabad and surrounding districts of West UP. A warning of rain with strong thunderstorms has been issued. There are light clouds in the morning. Strong winds are blowing. The Meteorological Department says that the weather will remain the same for the next few days.

IMD Prediction

IMD meteorologists say that cold winds coming from Central Asia and the Himalayas bring clouds, rain and thunderstorms in northwest and central India. These winds are blowing at a fast pace these days. At the same time, the heat wave system is also active in India at this time. In such a situation, when these two winds collide with each other, the weather changes suddenly. That is why a large part of India is witnessing heatwaves during the day and thunderstorms and rain at night. Its impact is also being felt in Uttar Pradesh.
