Extreme Heat In UP
Currently, Uttar Pradesh is enduring extreme temperatures, with the mercury soaring to 45°C in several districts. Day and night, the searing heat has disrupted daily life. The IMD has issued a heatwave alert for 18 districts on June 9, spanning both eastern and western parts of the state.
According to the latest forecast from the IMD, dry weather will persist across both eastern and western parts of Uttar Pradesh on Monday, June 9. During this time, a heatwave is expected to affect several districts, including Lalitpur, Jhansi, Jalaun, Etawah, Auraiya, Kanpur, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda, Fatehpur, Chitrakoot, Kaushambi, Varanasi, Chandauli, and Sonbhadra.
As the day advances, solar intensity will increase, causing discomfort due to the heat. A yellow alert has been issued for multiple districts for June 10. From June 11 onwards, cloud cover and rainfall are forecast, bringing much-needed relief.
Temperature Expected To Rise By 2 To 3°C
Professor Manoj Kumar Srivastava, meteorologist at Banaras Hindu University (BHU), noted that maximum temperatures across various districts in the state are likely to rise by 2 to 3 degree Celsius over the next two days. Hot westerly winds will prevail, exacerbating the heatwave conditions.
However, from June 11, cloud formation and rainfall are anticipated across different districts, resulting in a notable drop in temperature.
On Sunday, several cities in Uttar Pradesh endured blistering heat, with Agra recording a maximum temperature of 44.8°C and Jhansi reaching 44.7°C. In over half a dozen districts, temperatures hovered around the 43°C mark.
The oppressive conditions kept roads largely deserted, as residents sought shelter from the sun.

IMD forecasts soaring temperatures as Delhi's AQI dips into poor zone
Delhi and parts of northwest India are preparing for one of the hottest weeks of the season, with maximum temperatures expected to touch 44 degrees Celsius by Tuesday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The ongoing heatwave is likely to persist for the next five days, fuelled by a stalled southwest monsoon. Residents in the capital woke up to hot and humid conditions on Monday, with maximum temperatures forecast at 42 degrees Celsius and minimums hovering around 28 degrees. Clear skies and dry westerly winds are expected, which may drive temperatures even higher. Delhi Weather forecast for the week The southwest monsoon, which had been moving ahead of schedule, stalled around May 29 due to the arrival of dry air masses. However, the IMD's extended forecast projects that the monsoon will resume its progress between June 12 and 18, bringing potential relief to central and eastern India. A yellow alert has been issued for hot and humid conditions in Delhi. The IMD has also warned of possible heatwaves in parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and western Rajasthan in the coming days. Some relief is anticipated from June 10 onwards, with rainfall activity likely to increase in southern and northeastern regions, including isolated heavy showers. Air quality deteriorates to 'poor' category in Delhi-NCR On June 9, Delhi's AQI was recorded at 212, falling in the 'poor' bracket, compared to 209 on June 8, as per data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Stage I of Grap was previously lifted on May 18 after air quality improved, but its reimplementation reflects rising environmental concerns amid prolonged heat and dry conditions. According to the CPCB, AQI values are categorised as follows: 0–50 'good', 51–100 'satisfactory', 101–200 'moderate', 201–300 'poor', 301–400 'very poor', and 401–500 'severe'.
