Lucknow: Brace for wet and cold weather this week.
The weather office on Sunday expects several rain spells between Tuesday and Friday in several parts of the country, including Lucknow.
This will be followed by a decrease in temperature and fog around New Year’s Eve.
Director of Met State JP Gupta said Western disturbances floated above the Himalayas and caused rain and snow in North Hill countries.
Simultaneously, cyclone circulation has developed above Rajasthan, he added.
Two factors together will cause heavy rain in North and northwest India, he explained.
“Above, light rain in some parts is expected on Tuesday.
Rainfall activities will increase on Wednesday and include many parts of the country.
Thursday and Friday can also watch short spells of rain in some parts.
The weather will gradually become clear from Saturday, “The Met Director said.
Lucknow may get rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The level of mercury will remain low during the day in the two days, but the night temperature is expected to remain above normal.
However, as soon as Western disturbances in a hurry, cold winds from the Snowclad mountains will begin to hit the state and city from Friday-Saturday, which leads to cold conditions and fog, he predicts.
