There is a possibility of rain and thunder due to moist winds in Uttar Pradesh.

Kanpur, 21 May (HS). Due to the rising flames of the sun, a low pressure area has formed in Uttar Pradesh due to which moist winds have started coming from the Bay of Bengal. Due to this, clouds have started forming in the sky and the temperature has also dropped slightly. The Meteorological Department says that pre-monsoon activities have started, due to which there may be showers with thunder at some places, but the heat will remain intact.

Dr. SN Sunil Pandey, meteorologist of Chandrashekhar Azad University of Agricultural Technology, said on Tuesday that a circulation over the interior of Tamil Nadu extends up to 5.8 above mean sea level. A cyclonic circulation is over northwest Uttar Pradesh.

A trough from this cyclonic circulation extends to Gangetic West Bengal through eastern Uttar Pradesh, south Bihar and Jharkhand. A trough is extending from central Maharashtra to Karnataka coast. Monsoon is gaining momentum and progressing in the Bay of Bengal. Due to this, moist winds have started coming to Uttar Pradesh. Clouds are also being formed due to these moist winds and these clouds will also cause thunder at some places. Along with this, there is a possibility of dust storm along with showers. All these activities are of pre-monsoon but do not provide much relief from the heat. The temperature during this period feels three to four degrees Celsius higher due to moisture in the atmosphere.
