Uttar Pradesh is expected to experience a return of winter conditions, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting dense fog and potential cold waves, particularly in western regions. This shift is attributed to a weakening western disturbance, allowing northwesterly winds to bring colder temperatures. While Lucknow saw above-normal temperatures recently, minimums in western UP districts remained low. Lucknow schools are set to reopen on Monday with adjusted timings due to improving weather.
