The biting cold wave that has chilled Lucknow during evenings and nights is finally set to ease. Residents can expect relief starting from Thursday as minimum temperatures climb a few degrees higher.
Gradual Warming on the Way
Senior scientist Mohammad Danish from the state Met department confirmed the change. He attributed the shift to a western disturbance influencing the region.
"There will be a gradual increase in minimum temperatures in Lucknow and UP from Thursday," Danish stated. He explained that two successive western disturbances will drive this warming trend.
