The India Meteorological Department forecasts predominantly sunny skies with shallow fog during early morning hours, followed by hazy sunshine through daytime. Minimum temperatures currently range between 11-15 degrees Celsius across most districts, though further declines of 2-4 degrees Celsius are expected from November 26-28 as a new weather system develops over the Bay of Bengal. Lucknow recorded a minimum temperature of 14-15 degrees Celsius on November 22, with a maximum reaching 26-27 degrees Celsius, providing brief midday relief before intensifying evening cold. Northeasterly winds have temporarily increased nighttime minimum temperatures by 1-2 degrees Celsius, though this relief remains temporary before significant cold intensification occurs.
Regional Temperature Distribution and Fog Patterns
Western districts, including Varanasi, Kanpur, Agra, and Mathura, experience minimum temperatures between 12-14 degrees Celsius with morning fog reducing visibility to 200-400 meters. Central regions encompassing Lucknow, Sitapur, and Hardoi record similar patterns with light to moderate fog formations.

Farmers are advised to protect standing crops during the forecast period through evening irrigation and appropriate agricultural adjustments. The extended weather forecast indicates clear skies persisting through November 25, followed by weather pattern changes and potential precipitation from November 26 onwards.
