Even at the beginning of February, heat has started making its presence felt in Uttar Pradesh. In many parts of the state, the maximum temperature has reached around 30°C. Cities like Kanpur, Agra, Prayagraj, and Varanasi are recording temperatures above normal.

However, the coolness still remains at night. The minimum temperature is around 10-12°C, creating a slight chill during the early morning and late night hours. Weather experts say that temperatures may rise further in the coming days.

When Will the Hot Weather Begin?

Uttar Pradesh, the hot weather is typically expected to start in March. However, this year, signs of heat have already begun to appear in February. According to weather experts:

Will It Affect the Monsoon?

Meteorologists believe that if temperatures remain higher than normal in February and March, it could affect the monsoon's activity. Higher temperatures may lead to an earlier start of pre-monsoon activities, which could require farmers to adjust their irrigation and other preparations.

Impact on Agriculture:

The changing weather will have a direct impact on farmers in Uttar Pradesh. Wheat, mustard, and potato crops are currently in their growing stages. If temperatures rise significantly, it may affect wheat production.

Farmers are advised to:

  1. Pay attention to the timing of irrigation and water crops in the morning or evening.
  2. Use organic mulching to protect crops from hot winds.
  3. Keep an eye on weather department updates and consult agricultural scientists if needed.

There are continuous changes in the weather in Uttar Pradesh. While light rain may occur in some cities of western UP, the weather in eastern UP will remain clear. The temperature has reached 30°C, signaling the onset of heat. The weather will remain dry in the coming days, but there is a possibility of a rise in temperature.

People involved in agriculture and the general public need to keep track of weather department updates so they can prepare accordingly.
