Kanpur Division Gripped by Persistent Cold Wave
Residents of Kanpur division continue to battle intense cold conditions. The region is experiencing frosty mornings and chilly nights that show no signs of immediate relief.
Temperature Plummets to 4 Degrees Celsius
Friday morning brought a sharp drop in temperature across the division. The mercury dipped to 4 degrees Celsius, marking a slight increase from Thursday's recorded low of 3.6 degrees Celsius.
Despite sunny daytime conditions reported by the India Meteorological Department, a persistent north-westerly breeze added to the discomfort. This wind blew at approximately 6.9 kilometers per hour, intensifying the chill factor throughout the day.
Weather Patterns Expected to Continue
Current weather conditions are likely to persist for the next several days. The maximum temperature recorded recently reached 18.6 degrees Celsius, which falls 1.3 degrees below normal seasonal expectations.
Humidity levels remain notably high, with maximum relative humidity peaking at 97 percent. This combination of low temperatures and high humidity creates particularly harsh conditions for residents.
Expert Analysis and Forecast
Sunil Pandey, a respected weather expert at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, provided insights into the regional weather patterns. He indicated that night temperatures across Uttar Pradesh, including Kanpur division, may fluctuate by 1 to 2 degrees in coming days.
Pandey noted several key points:
- Conditions will remain mild during night, morning, and evening hours
- Some relief from pollution and fog is expected, particularly during mornings and evenings
- The overall cold pattern shows stability for the immediate future
IMD Predicts Fog and Changing Wind Patterns
The India Meteorological Department has issued additional forecasts for the region. They anticipate possible fog and mist formation during morning and evening hours in upcoming days, primarily due to persistent humidity levels.
Bright sunshine is expected during afternoon periods, offering temporary respite from the cold. However, weather officials predict increasing north-westerly wind speeds during post-noon periods, which may further intensify the chill experienced by residents.
The combination of low temperatures, high humidity, and persistent winds creates challenging conditions for daily life across Kanpur division. Local authorities continue to monitor the situation as residents bundle up against the ongoing cold spell.
