Lucknow, 8 December – The onset of December has brought a sharp drop in temperatures across Uttar Pradesh, with many districts, including Prayagraj, experiencing a severe cold wave. The chilly winds have increased the cold, especially in eastern and central parts of the state, prompting people to rely on warm clothing and fires to keep warm.
Locals in Prayagraj reported that the cold wave blowing down from the hills has intensified the chill in the area. One resident shared that they used to go for walks earlier, but due to the increased cold, they have stopped going out for morning walks.
