Caution Advised

You need to be careful today, especially in Noida, Agra, Lucknow, and Kanpur. With strong winds (40-60 km/h) and a chance of lightning, stay away from open areas. Don't stand near trees, poles, or weak structures. Drive carefully, as rain and high winds can reduce visibility.

Scorching Heat

Although the rain on March 30 will bring some relief, it's only temporary. The IMD indicates that temperatures will rise sharply in the coming days. With the start of April, the mercury in many UP cities could touch 39°C to 41°C. There's a high chance of heatwave-like conditions in Prayagraj and nearby areas. According to the weather department, this is a sign of pre-summer heat, so everyone should start preparing for the hot days ahead.
