Kanpur, 16 December: The effect of snowfall on the mountains was clearly visible in the plains of Uttar Pradesh due to the blowing of westerly winds. The minimum temperature was continuously falling due to the cold winds and cold wave conditions had also developed in many districts, but now the wind directions have changed while the temperature escalated due to this, the cold wave also weakened.
Dr SN Sunil Pandey, meteorologist of Chandrashekhar Azad Agricultural Technology University, said on Monday that a depression has again formed in the Bay of Bengal. Due to this, the direction of the winds has changed from northwest to north-east and these winds are proving to be helpful in increasing the temperature of Uttar Pradesh.

Not only this, the weather of the mountains is also now seen to be clear. However, there will not be much effect in the winter and the cold will continue to bother people. There is no possibility of rain in all the states of North India till next week. Western disturbance is present over North Afghanistan and surrounding areas and as soon as the wind direction becomes westerly, its effect will be seen in Uttar Pradesh.
