Residents of Lucknow, Noida, Amethi and several other parts of Uttar Pradesh may have to wait longer for monsoon relief as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that conditions are currently not favourable for the southwest monsoon to advance into the state.
With temperatures climbing above 40 degrees Celsius in many districts, heatwave-like conditions are expected to persist over the coming days despite isolated thunderstorms and light rainfall in some areas, according to The Indian Express.
