The heatwave will likely persist all day in Agra and Prayagraj, with strong 'loo' winds expected. While Kanpur, Lucknow, and Noida have a 'clear sky' forecast, this means direct sunlight will cause temperatures to rise rapidly. The IMD says the mercury could climb by another 1-2 degrees in the next 2-3 days, making the heat feel even more intense.
