Dense Fog Grips 20 UP Districts, Temperatures Drop to 13°C; Colder Days Ahead

Winter conditions are gradually intensifying across Uttar Pradesh, with dense fog and falling temperatures affecting several districts. On Friday morning, fog and haze reduced visibility in parts of the state, creating difficulties for commuters and motorists. Lakhimpur Kheri was among the worst-affected areas, where visibility reportedly dropped to around eight metres at some locations.

The minimum temperature in Hardoi was recorded at around 13°C, making it one of the coldest places in the state. Other districts have also witnessed a gradual decline in night temperatures, while mornings and evenings are becoming increasingly chilly.

Fog Affects Visibility and Road Movement

Foggy conditions have been reported across several parts of western, central and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Reduced visibility during early morning hours has raised concerns about road safety, particularly on highways and routes connecting smaller towns and villages. Drivers are being advised to slow down, use fog lights and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.

Temperature Likely to Fall Further

According to weather forecasts, the cold is expected to become more pronounced from November 16. Minimum temperatures across several parts of Uttar Pradesh may decline by approximately 3–5°C as northwesterly winds bring cooler air from the Himalayan region.

The Regional Meteorological Centre has indicated that mornings and nights will become colder, although daytime sunshine may continue to provide some relief. Rainfall is not expected to have a significant impact on the state over the coming days.

Residents, particularly children and elderly people, are advised to take precautions against the changing weather and remain alert while travelling during foggy morning hours.
