Noida in Gautam Budh Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, received light rainfall and cooler temperatures, providing relief after several days of extreme heat. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported a maximum temperature of 36.2°C on Wednesday, down from a high of 41.8°C just days prior. This change is attributed to an active western disturbance over northwest India, which is expected to keep temperatures in check for the next few days. The IMD forecasts maximum temperatures of 35-38°C and minimums of 25-26°C over the coming week, with partly cloudy skies and potential thundershowers on May 4 and 5. Amidst the heat, the Gautam Budh Nagar district administration had revised school timings, leading to parental concerns about the impact on children's learning. Parents have petitioned for the return to normal school hours, emphasizing the need for balance in educational disruptions caused by seasonal changes. Local residents welcomed the cooler weather, expressing hope for a return to regular school operations.
