Weather Systems Driving Heat
Meteorological conditions indicate an east–west trough extending from a cyclonic circulation over northwest Uttar Pradesh to Manipur, passing through eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bangladesh, up to 1.5 km above mean sea level.
Additionally, an upper air cyclonic circulation over Odisha at around 0.9 km above mean sea level is influencing the region’s weather.
Clear skies and dry conditions are likely to prevail, with no significant rainfall expected. This will further accelerate the rise in temperatures.
Precautions Advised
Residents are advised to prepare for hotter days and avoid heat exposure during peak afternoon hours to prevent heat-related stress.
