Major parts of Uttar Pradesh, India, have seen relief from intense heat due to recent rainfall and thunderstorms, while Bundelkhand continues to suffer from extreme temperatures. On Wednesday, Lucknow recorded a maximum temperature of 39.3°C, slightly lower than 39.7°C the previous day, following 0.8 mm of rainfall. However, Banda reported the highest temperature in the country at 45.8°C, significantly above normal levels. The weather change is attributed to a western disturbance interacting with moist easterly winds, which led to widespread rain across the state, except for Bundelkhand. Strong winds were also reported, with gusts over 100 km/h in Varanasi. The current spell of rain is expected to continue until Thursday, with temperatures likely dropping by another 2-4°C. However, a rise of 3-5°C is anticipated in early May before another potential rainfall around May 4-5, which may help reduce temperatures again.
