Weather Alert In 39 UP Districts Today: Clouds Cover Lucknow, Temperature To Rise In Next 5 Days Daily Kiran

Varanasi, May 7, 2025 The weather across Uttar Pradesh continues to shift rapidly, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a rain alert for 39 districts today. Several areas, including Lucknow and nine other districts, woke up to overcast skies and cool breezes, hinting at more showers ahead.

According to senior meteorologist Atul Kumar Singh, the impact of the Western Disturbance and associated weather system is gradually weakening. Consequently, barring some parts of the Terai, Bundelkhand, and western regions, the maximum temperatures across most parts of the state are expected to rise by 3°C to 5°C over the next five to six days.

Recent Weather Events and Casualties

On Tuesday, Ayodhya and Balrampur recorded moderate rainfall. However, extreme weather conditions led to tragic incidents:

In Haldharpur (Mau), three people died due to lightning strikes.
In Aligarh, a woman tragically lost her life after being hit by a tin shed while trying to save a child during a severe dust storm.

CM Yogi Adityanath Issues Alert to District Officials

Expressing condolences over the loss of lives in Mau, Bahraich, Aligarh, and Auraiya, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed district administrations to remain on high alert.
He has instructed:

Immediate surveys of affected areas
Timely disbursement of relief funds to families of the deceased and injured
Swift medical aid to the wounded
Monitoring of vulnerable regions prone to lightning, hailstorms, and high winds

Why the Weather Changed: Meteorological Insight

Meteorologist Atul Kumar Singh explained the science behind the sudden weather shift:

A dry line is currently active over south-western Rajasthan, stretching all the way to Kerala.
A powerful Western Disturbance is also influencing atmospheric conditions.
Additionally, moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal are clashing with south-westerly winds, triggering rainfall, cloud formation, and storms across the state.

As a result, Uttar Pradesh is experiencing cloudy conditions, isolated thunderstorms, and scattered rainfall, with more changes expected in the days ahead.
