The cold wave is intensifying in Uttar Pradesh. According to the Amousi Weather Center in Lucknow, the minimum temperature recorded in Meerut on Wednesday was 6.0°C, the lowest in the state. Many other districts also saw temperatures around the same level.
Due to the drop in maximum temperatures and the cold wave, severe cold is being experienced during the day as well. There has been no sunshine in several parts of the state, including Lucknow, for the past few days, which has increased the chill. According to the weather department, there is a possibility of rain in Saharanpur, Bijnor, Rampur, and surrounding districts on January 6, which is expected to further increase the cold.

Expecting Biting Cold:
