U.P. braces for rising temps, light showers to linger
The city recorded a maximum of 38.3°C and a minimum of 21.5°C on Thursday. For Friday, the IMD has forecast a slight rise with temperatures expected to hover around 39°C and 24°C. Partly cloudy skies and the possibility of thundery developments are likely, though intense weather activity is not expected.
Senior IMD scientist Mohd Danish said, 'Alongside these light showers, the temperature will also remain moderate and rise by a few degrees over the next couple of days.'
The cyclonic Western disturbances, which had brought cooler mornings and rainfall to the region, are now receding, making way for drier conditions. However, the IMD has clarified that a heatwave is not yet on the horizon.
The yellow alerts previously issued for thunder and lightning across several parts of Uttar Pradesh have now been withdrawn. From May 9 onward, no major shifts in weather or temperature are anticipated, IMD said.
'For the next week, only moderate temperatures are expected across the state, with the spells of rain restricted mostly to the southern part of UP,' Danish added. The IMD has listed around 30 districts in southern Uttar Pradesh that may receive showers on May 10.
Statewide weather data reveals Varanasi and Basti reported the highest maximum temperature at 40°C, closely followed by Sultanpur at 39.8°C. Basti also topped the list for the highest minimum temperature at 27°C, with Jhansi and Hamirpur not far behind at 26.7°C and 26.2°C respectively.

Heavy rainfall expected in state
Bhubaneswar: A fresh spell of heavy rain is likely in most parts of state from Wednesday to Sunday. According to the IMD, a cyclonic circulation, which is a remnant of tropical cyclone Wipha, is likely to emerge over the north Bay of Bengal within the next 24 hours. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is expected to form over the region in the subsequent 48 hours, potentially bringing enhanced rainfall over several districts of Odisha, the IMD said on Tuesday. "Most districts of Odisha will witness rainfall activities from Wednesday, while the intensity is likely to increase in northern and southern districts from Thursday," IMD regional centre director Manorama Mohanty said.

Jangamaheswarapuram (Palnadu), Palakoderu (West Godavari), Tiruvuru and Nandigama (NTR district), and Srisailam (Nandyal) each recorded around 4 cm. A fresh low-pressure system is likely to form over the north Bay of Bengal on Thursday, triggering further rainfall across north coastal Andhra Pradesh (NCAP), Yanam, and south coastal Andhra Pradesh (SCAP) for the next three days. IMD also forecast thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds (40–50 kmph) at isolated places in NCAP, SCAP, Yanam, and Rayalaseema. Day and night temperatures have dipped by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius across the region. No major variation is expected in the mercury levels over the next two days.

Remnant of tropical cyclone Wipha to trigger another round of intense rain spells in Kerala
The scale and intensity of the southwest monsoon will be intensified further starting from July 25, influenced by the remnants of tropical cyclone Wipha. Though Wipha, downgraded to a tropical storm, left a trail of destruction in parts of Southeast Asian countries by bringing in strong winds and heavy rain, it is likely to emerge over the North Bay of Bengal. Although weakened after the landfall, the system is likely to get intensified further after crossing over to the Bay of Bengal. According to a weather bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday, a fresh cyclonic circulation (remnant of Tropical Cyclone Wipha) is likely to emerge over the North Bay of Bengal during the next 24 hours. Under its influence, a low pressure area is likely to form over the same region in the subsequent 48 hours. Though the track and timeline of the system would be clearer after the formation of low pressure area, it is likely to intensify into a depression and may move into the coastline of the country, triggering widespread rainfall in eastern and central India. 'This will also help the strengthening of the flow of westerlies from the Arabian Sea into the mainland of the country, activating some intense spells of rain in the Western Ghat regions along the west coast of the country. We expect intense rainfall activity in Kerala for three days starting from July 25,' said V.K. Mini, a scientist with IMD, Thiruvananthapuram. North and central Kerala will get a major share of rain during the next surge. The next surge can also narrow down the deficiency margin of the southwest monsoon rainfall in Kerala, which is still 11 % short of the average of rain clocked during the opening two months of June and July. The State will have to get a cumulative average rainfall of 1,302 mm of rain during June and July, while it has received 997.3 mm of rain so far against the average of 1124.2 mm (from June 1 to July 22).
