Kanpur's Heat Persists Despite Patchy Showers
21 Sep
Summary
- Maximum temperature rose slightly to 34.2°C, with feel like temperature near 37°C.
- High humidity of 87% accompanied by northeasterly winds offered little respite.
- Forecast predicts localized thunderstorms but persistent heat and humidity.
Kanpur experienced brief respite from sultry weather on Monday as scattered afternoon rains graced the city. However, these patchy showers, occurring for the third consecutive day, did not significantly alleviate the heat, with the maximum temperature actually seeing a slight increase from the previous day.
The CSA weather observatory recorded a maximum temperature of 34.2°C, a marginal rise from Sunday's reading. The perceived temperature, or 'feel like' temperature, lingered around 37°C, underscoring the discomfort. Minimum temperatures dipped to 24.4°C.
Northeasterly winds, blowing at 4.8 kmph, provided little comfort due to a significant humidity climb to 87%. The morning commenced with fog-like conditions that dissipated after sunrise, giving way to bright sunshine which intensified outdoor discomfort.
Weather experts anticipate localized thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds and light rain over the next three days. However, intense humidity is expected to persist whenever sunshine returns. The IMD forecast for the Kanpur division indicates mainly clear and sunny weather for the next 24 hours, with a low probability of rainfall, suggesting continued heat and high humidity.
