Lucknow, 19 January. Due to the influence of continuously active western disturbances, a gradual increase in temperature will be recorded in Uttar Pradesh during the next 48 hours. Along with this, there is a possibility of reduction in dense fog also. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of rain in the state from January 22. Senior scientist of the Meteorological Center Atul Kumar Singh said that the decline in night temperature which was being seen for the last few days, has now stopped.
However, despite a slight increase, partial cold wave conditions persisted in the central parts of the state, Hardoi, Amethi, Ayodhya and Barabanki on Saturday night. He said that due to western disturbance there has been a change in the wind direction, due to which the temperature is likely to increase by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius in the next 24 to 48 hours. This will provide relief from the cold wave at night and the dense fog prevailing in the state is expected to gradually reduce after January 20.
After this, due to the effect of an active western disturbance, a period of rain may start in western Uttar Pradesh from January 22, which will later reach eastern UP. Due to this, there is a possibility of significant improvement in the ongoing cold situation in the state. There was dense fog in many areas of the state on Monday morning. Zero visibility was recorded in Moradabad, Aligarh, Bareilly, Gorakhpur (IAF), Barabanki, Kanpur (IAF) and Azamgarh. At the same time, visibility at Lucknow airport was only 50 meters.
