A slight but continuous increase in temperature continues in Uttar Pradesh. As the day progresses, the bright sunshine has started signaling the departure of winter. The heat is clearly felt in the afternoon, although slight cold still persists in the morning and late evening.
Banda was recorded as the hottest city of the state for the third consecutive day on Thursday. The maximum temperature here was 31.2 degrees Celsius. A temperature of 30.4 degrees Celsius was recorded in Prayagraj and 29.9 degrees Celsius in Varanasi. Even in Agra and Jhansi, the strong afternoon sun made people feel hot. The changing weather has gradually started reducing the effect of cold.
According to the Meteorological Department, a light western disturbance may become active in western Uttar Pradesh around February 17, due to which there is a possibility of light drizzle at some places.
