Uttar Pradesh Weather Update: Severe Heatwave and Thunderstorms Predicted
Uttar Pradesh is currently experiencing a blistering heatwave, with temperatures soaring past 46°C in several districts. The heat has turned unbearable for many residents, as the state faces scorching hot winds, and the heat continues to intensify each day. While some relief is expected in the coming days, the heat remains relentless, especially in parts of western Uttar Pradesh and Bundelkhand.
Heatwave Grips UP: Temperature Reaches 46°C
The ongoing heatwave has caused extreme temperatures in districts like Jhansi, Agra, Banda, and others, where the mercury has crossed 46°C. People are struggling to cope with the intense heat, and the situation has become even more challenging at night, with no relief from the hot winds.
Despite the intense conditions, the Meteorological Department has forecast a gradual decrease in temperatures by 3-5°C over the next 6 days. However, the relief will not come quickly enough for many, as the heat will continue for the next two days, particularly in districts like Agra, Noida, and Jhansi.
Mixed Weather Conditions Across UP Today
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted mixed weather for today, with a combination of heatwaves and thunderstorms expected across the state. While some regions will experience heavy rain and thunderstorms, the scorching heat will persist in areas like western UP and Bundelkhand.

The weather in western UP will be particularly harsh today, with an orange alert issued for districts such as Noida, Ghaziabad, Mathura, Agra, and Jhansi. These regions will experience severe heat waves throughout the day. Additionally, the IMD has issued a yellow heatwave alert for several districts, including Baghpat, Meerut, Hapur, Bulandshahr, and others.
Meanwhile, thunderstorms with lightning and dust storms are expected in parts of Saharanpur, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Moradabad, Bareilly, and nearby districts. A wind speed of 30-40 km/h is also forecasted, increasing the intensity of the storm.
