Wintry chill is all set to tighten its grip over parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, with states recording good winter rains. This is the first spell of winter rains over the region that have been dry till now.
As predicted by Skymet Weather, fairly widespread light rains have been recorded over Uttar Pradesh during last 24 hours. Now, both the intensity and spread of rain is expected to increase further and cover parts of Bihar. One or two places can also receive hailstorm.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Banda in Uttar Pradesh recorded 3 mm of rain, Jhansi 3 mm, Varanasi 2.2 mm and Agra 1 mm.
According to Skymet Weather, the confluence of two opposing winds over Central India has led to the formation of a cyclonic circulation over Uttar Pradesh.
The rainy spell is expected to continue for another two days before the system shifts in east direction. Moderate to dense fog will also make reappearance over the state.
This will lead to significant drop in maximum temperatures and result in cold day conditions over entire Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Bihar. Cold day conditions are observed when maximum temperatures over a certain place record below 16°C.
As the system clears away from the region, cold and dry northwesterly winds will once again start blowing over the region. In wake of this, minimum temperatures will decrease considerably and cold wave conditions will prevail over both the states.
