UP Weather Update: Clear Skies to Prevail for a Week, Night Chill Intensifies Across State—from Deoria to Noida

Lucknow: Winter is gradually setting in across Uttar Pradesh, but the state has yet to witness the kind of biting cold usually associated with this time of year. Days remain pleasant with sunshine, while nights are becoming noticeably colder. According to the Meteorological Department, the first week of December is likely to begin with clear and dry weather, though shallow to moderate fog may appear during early mornings and late nights.

Dry Weather Forecast Across UP

On 29 November, both western and eastern parts of the state are expected to experience dry weather. Light to moderate fog may appear at isolated places during the morning hours.

Similarly, 30 November is likely to bring clear skies with patches of morning fog. The forecast indicates that from 1 to 4 December, the weather will remain clear statewide, with no significant drop in daytime temperatures.
