Uttar Pradesh Weather: Live Updates and Handy Tips
Wondering what the sky over Uttar Pradesh will do today? You’re not alone. From sudden showers in Lucknow to scorching heat in Agra, the state’s weather can flip in a heartbeat. Below you’ll find the most recent outlook, why the patterns are changing, and what you can do to stay comfortable and safe.
Current Weather Patterns Across UP
Right now the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is tracking a weak low‑pressure system moving east from the Bay of Bengal. It’s nudging the western edge of the monsoon toward eastern Uttar Pradesh, bringing occasional thundershowers and a rise in humidity. In cities like Varanasi and Gorakhpur, temperatures sit around 32‑34°C with humidity hitting 80% in the afternoons. That combination makes the “feels‑like” temperature feel even hotter.
Further west, in places like Meerut and Noida, a lingering high‑pressure ridge is blocking the monsoon clouds. That’s why you see clear skies but also a dry spell and higher daytime heat. The IMD expects the ridge to weaken over the next 48‑72 hours, allowing more moisture to flow in from the Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon.
Rain chances are highest between 3 pm and 7 pm, especially in the central and eastern districts. Light to moderate showers will likely bring total rainfall of 0.3‑0.6 inches, enough to cool the air but not enough to cause major flooding. However, flash‑flood warnings remain in low‑lying areas near the Ganga and its tributaries, so keep an eye on local alerts.
Tips to Stay Safe This Monsoon
1. Check alerts before heading out. A quick glance at the IMD app or a local news channel can tell you if a sudden downpour is expected. Even short bursts can make roads slick.
2. Carry a compact raincoat or an umbrella. Umbrellas are handy for quick showers, but a raincoat keeps you dry if the rain sticks around longer.
3. Stay hydrated. High humidity makes you sweat more, and you can lose fluids faster than you think. Keep a bottle of water with you, especially if you’re traveling between cities.
4. Avoid low‑lying areas during peak rain. If you live near a riverbank, consider moving valuables to higher ground and have a simple sandbag kit ready.
5. Watch the power situation. Heavy rain can cause short power cuts. Have a flashlight and charge your phone when the battery is still good.
By keeping these simple steps in mind, you can enjoy the cool relief of a monsoon without getting caught off guard.
Uttar Pradesh’s weather is a mix of heat, humidity, and occasional rain this season. The IMD’s forecasts are updated several times a day, so checking them regularly will give you the edge you need to plan your day, whether you’re heading to work, a school, or a weekend trip. Stay informed, stay prepared, and you’ll make it through the monsoon just fine.
