Light drizzle brings brief relief in Kanpur, humidity soars again
Kanpur: Residents of central Kanpur experienced brief relief from the scorching heat on Saturday evening as light drizzles dampened roads and courtyards. However, the respite was short-lived as increased cloud cover by night led to a sharp rise in humidity, bringing back discomfort. The maximum temperature in the city reached 42.9°C — 5.1 degrees above normal — while relative humidity touched 69%, making the heat feel more intense, with a perceived temperature of around 45–46°C. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and S. Sunil Pandey, a weather scientist at CSA University, the months of May and June are traditionally associated with dry heat and heatwaves, primarily driven by northwesterly winds. However, this year, the situation has been aggravated by easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal, which are carrying high humidity levels and turning the atmosphere muggy. "These winds are creating vapour-laden conditions that trap heat, making it feel much hotter than it is," said Pandey. He added that nighttime temperatures are also remaining above normal, offering little relief even after sunset. The IMD has forecast a possibility of light rainfall, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms, between June 16 and 18. A slight drop in temperature is expected due to light cloud cover in the coming days. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Relief from intense heat expected soon
Kanpur: Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that citizens may get relief from the current heat wave from June 14 as seasonal climatic changes will become active in the state. Though the arrival of high clouds would reduce the temperature, humid heat is likely to persist due to the arrival of humid winds. The radiative heating has increased and due to this extensive increase during the last few days, the temperature in most places in the state has remained much above normal, the IMD indicated. According to S Sunil Pandey, weather scientist at CSA University, there is no possibility of any major change during the next couple of days. As a result, the heat wave and hot night conditions prevailing in western UP are likely to continue till June 13.
