Lucknow has seen a welcome break from the intense heat, continuing into a second day with maximum temperatures recorded at 34 degrees Celsius, which is 6.1 degrees below normal. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that similar conditions will persist for the next two days, with maximum and minimum temperatures expected to be around 33 and 24 degrees Celsius respectively on Sunday. Although no thunderstorms occurred on Saturday, strong moist winds contributed to a comfortable climate. Relative humidity fluctuated between 47% and 79%. The IMD also anticipates one or two spells of thundershowers on Sunday, with winds reaching 40-50 kmph, and gusts potentially hitting 60 kmph. A western disturbance and moisture-laden easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal are driving these weather changes. While the heatwave has temporarily subsided, meteorologists warn that temperatures may rise again by 5 to 7 degrees Celsius in the first week of June, leading to a return of hotter conditions across Uttar Pradesh.
