Lucknow Shivers Through Coldest Night of the Season
Lucknow residents woke up to a sharp chill on Thursday morning. The city recorded its coldest night of this winter season. The minimum temperature plunged to 5.5 degrees Celsius.
This reading marked a significant drop. It fell 1.6 degrees below the normal average for this time of year. The cold spell occurred on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.
Sunshine Mitigates the Chill
However, the biting cold did not last through the day. Bright sunshine on Thursday provided much-needed relief. The maximum temperature climbed to a more comfortable 20.7 degrees Celsius.
This contrast between night and day temperatures was quite stark. The sunshine effectively reduced the impact of the previous night's deep freeze.
Weather Forecast for Coming Days
The regional Met department has issued a new forecast. Weather officials predict a change in the pattern. Day and night temperatures are expected to rise in the coming days.
Mohammad Danish, a scientist with the Met department, explained the reason. "A western disturbance will influence our weather," he said. "This system will lead to warmer conditions."
Danish provided specific details about the forecast. "There will be no further drop in night temperatures," he confirmed. "However, we do see a possibility of fog during morning hours in the coming days."
Friday's Weather Outlook
Looking at the immediate forecast, Friday presents a mixed picture. The sky will remain mainly clear during daytime hours. This should allow for pleasant afternoon conditions.
Morning commuters need to exercise caution. Dense fog is likely during the early hours. Visibility may be reduced significantly.
The temperature range for Friday appears more moderate. The maximum temperature will hover around 22 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature is expected to be near 7 degrees Celsius.
This forecast indicates a noticeable warming trend. Both day and night temperatures show an upward movement from Thursday's readings.
