Lucknow Weather | Hot & humid Monday, light rainfall likely by evening

Lucknow began Monday, July 7, under intense sunshine and stifling humidity. With temperatures around 35–36°C and humidity levels reaching 80%, residents experienced another muggy day. According to updates, a change in weather is expected post-noon, with clouds likely to gather by afternoon and light rainfall possible by evening. Isolated showers are also expected on July 7 and 8.

Rain shifts towards Western UP

Monsoon is gradually shifting westward. IMD has issued a heavy rain alert for 16 districts, including Saharanpur, Shamli, Bareilly, and Pilibhit. Thunderstorm and lightning alerts have been sounded for 47 districts across Uttar Pradesh.

East UP sees dry spell

The cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal has pulled monsoon moisture towards Odisha and Madhya Pradesh, leading to a decline in rainfall over Eastern UP. Over the next 3–4 days, regions in Purvanchal may only see light drizzles or intermittent cloud cover.

Overall, while parts of UP may see intensified rainfall, Lucknow is likely to remain hot and humid, with only patchy showers expected. So whether it’s a surprise rainfall or the relentless sun, best keep that umbrella close.
