On November 7, 2025, Uttar Pradesh is experiencing a prolonged cold spell, with frigid winds and hazy skies gripping the state. According to the India Meteorological Department's forecast, the region is expected to witness "moderate fog and mist during morning hours and haze during the rest of the day" for the next few days.
The air quality in several western UP cities, including Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Noida, Baghpat, and Khurja, has remained 'poor', with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data showing high Air Quality Index (AQI) levels. Experts warn that this 'poor' AQI can lead to "breathing discomfort to most people on prolonged exposure".
The temperatures are also expected to dip further in the coming weeks. On November 7, the maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to settle at 29°C and 17°C, respectively. However, the temperatures are likely to drop to 16-14°C in the week of November 14-20 and further down to 12-10°C in the following week.
As the cold winds and hazy conditions persist, the residents of Uttar Pradesh are bracing for a prolonged period of poor air quality and plummeting temperatures.
