Lucknow, Read: Rapid changes are being seen in the weather of North India. With the arrival of cold, the weather patterns have completely changed in different states. At some places, a huge drop in mercury is being recorded, while at other places, dense fog and poisonous haze in the morning is increasing the problems of the people. The widespread impact of this seasonal change is being seen from the capital Delhi to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Delhi faces severe pollution and blanket of smog begins to spread
The level of air pollution in the national capital Delhi and the entire NCR region remains very worrying. Due to slow wind speed and falling temperature, the air quality index (AQI) remains in the 'poor' and 'severe' category in the morning and evening. Due to the thick blanket of smog (a mixture of fog and smoke) covering the entire city, people are facing health problems like irritation in eyes, sore throat and difficulty in breathing. According to meteorologists, unless strong winds blow, there are very little chances of getting immediate relief from pollution.
Sunshine after morning fog in Uttar Pradesh and Lucknow
Visibility was affected due to fog-like haze in the morning for the fourth consecutive day on Monday in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. However, as the day progressed, the bright sunshine gave great relief to the people from the shivering and fog of the morning. The maximum temperature of Lucknow was recorded 1.6 degrees Celsius above normal i.e. 31.8 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature was 17.4 degrees Celsius. It is a matter of relief that the AQI of the city improved to below 185. At the same time, in other districts of the state also, light to moderate fog has started appearing in the morning and late night.
Temperature dropped rapidly in cities of Madhya Pradesh
Even in the major districts of Madhya Pradesh, the effect of cold is deepening day by day. According to the Meteorological Department, a huge drop in the minimum temperature has been recorded in most of the cities of the state. Due to clear sky and dry cold winds coming from North India, the mercury is continuously falling at night and early morning. Due to this drop of mercury, the feeling of shivering and pink cold has increased in the plains as well as in the tourist places.
