Light drizzle brings brief relief in Kanpur, humidity soars again
Kanpur: Residents of central Kanpur experienced brief relief from the scorching heat on Saturday evening as light drizzles dampened roads and courtyards. However, the respite was short-lived as increased cloud cover by night led to a sharp rise in humidity, bringing back discomfort. The maximum temperature in the city reached 42.9°C — 5.1 degrees above normal — while relative humidity touched 69%, making the heat feel more intense, with a perceived temperature of around 45–46°C. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and S. Sunil Pandey, a weather scientist at CSA University, the months of May and June are traditionally associated with dry heat and heatwaves, primarily driven by northwesterly winds. However, this year, the situation has been aggravated by easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal, which are carrying high humidity levels and turning the atmosphere muggy. "These winds are creating vapour-laden conditions that trap heat, making it feel much hotter than it is," said Pandey. He added that nighttime temperatures are also remaining above normal, offering little relief even after sunset. The IMD has forecast a possibility of light rainfall, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms, between June 16 and 18. A slight drop in temperature is expected due to light cloud cover in the coming days. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Relief from intense heat expected soon
Kanpur: Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that citizens may get relief from the current heat wave from June 14 as seasonal climatic changes will become active in the state. Though the arrival of high clouds would reduce the temperature, humid heat is likely to persist due to the arrival of humid winds. The radiative heating has increased and due to this extensive increase during the last few days, the temperature in most places in the state has remained much above normal, the IMD indicated. According to S Sunil Pandey, weather scientist at CSA University, there is no possibility of any major change during the next couple of days. As a result, the heat wave and hot night conditions prevailing in western UP are likely to continue till June 13. However, due to light clouds in the next five days, there is a possibility of drizzle/light rain locally along with strong winds, thunderstorms between June 14-15. The city on Wednesday recorded maximum temperature as 41.9 degree Celsius. tnn

Kanpur to experience intense heatwave as‘Nautapa' approaches
1 2 Kanpur: The northern region is heading towards ' Nautapa ' which will commence from May 25. 'Nautapa' is a period of 9 days when the heat of the sun is felt the most and the temperature can break records at many places. According to the Hindu calendar, this year 'Nautapa' beginning on May 25, will continue till June 8. Although the heat is intense for the entire 15 days, the first 9 days are particularly scorching. During 'Nautapa', the sun god comes very close to the earth, due to which the rays of the sun have a direct and intense effect on the earth. When the sun is in the Rohini constellation, it affects the heat. According to astrology, Rohini Nakshatra belongs to Lord Venus, who is considered as the enemy constellation of the sun. This is the reason that when the sun and Venus come together, there is more heat. The weather experts and doctors have advised to avoid heat, keep the body hydrated, wear light clothing, avoid sun exposure, and stay in a cool environment. The people have been advised to avoid coming in the open sky in the noon, remain indoors, sprinkle cold water or take a bath to keep the body cold and take all preventive steps to avoid summer diseases. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo Though 'Nautapa' is five days ahead, the heat is baffling the citizens.
