The minimum temperature saw a marginal increase to 25.1°C. High relative humidity, recorded at 85% by the CSA weather observatory, persisted, though south-easterly winds offered some relief.
A brief, five-minute spell of light drizzle occurred around 11 am, but it did not significantly alter the prevailing weather pattern. Looking ahead, weather expert S N Sunil Pandey anticipates partly to overcast skies over the next five days. Light to moderate rainfall is expected across several locations, potentially accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds in certain areas. Humidity levels are predicted to rise during sunny intervals.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued forecasts for partly to generally cloudy skies across the Kanpur division's six districts. Light to moderate rain with thunderstorms is anticipated, with a possibility of heavy downpours in isolated spots. Heavily overcast conditions are predicted for Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat, with moderate rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning expected Sunday night into Monday morning, driven by south-easterly winds at 10-15 kmph.
