Why Is Uttar Pradesh Facing Severe Heatwave Conditions?

It has been explained by meteorologists that strong winds blowing from the states of Rajasthan and central India along with clear skies and sun’s intense heat are causing worsening of heatwave conditions in Uttar Pradesh. Hot northwesterly winds have started raising the temperature level in several areas including Lucknow, Banda, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Jhansi, and Varanasi. Clear skies are enabling the sun’s direct heat to remain intact throughout the day. Therefore, people in these areas are experiencing extreme day temperature conditions due to clear skies, hot northwesterly winds, and intense sun rays, which are collectively contributing towards making weather very tough for residents of affected areas. Weather experts have also informed that due to the lack of moisture content in western districts of UP, the cooling effect has reduced significantly, thus exacerbating heat wave conditions during afternoon periods. On the other hand, eastern Uttar Pradesh is now witnessing rise in humid conditions, making weather warm and uncomfortable in areas such as Gorakhpur, Varanasi, and adjacent places. In addition to this, isolated thunderstorms, cloud formation, and light showers are likely to take place in eastern Uttar Pradesh in the coming days due to strengthening of pre-monsoon activities in northern India.
