UP Weather Update: On March 20, 2026, the weather in many cities of Uttar Pradesh will change drastically. Cities like Noida, Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, and Varanasi will experience cloudy skies with intermittent rain or thundershowers. Strong thunderstorms, lightning, and winds of up to 50-60 kmph are also expected in some areas. A hailstorm warning has also been issued for Kanpur, making the weather even more dangerous.
Today, the maximum temperature in Noida is expected to reach 25°C, Lucknow 30°C, Kanpur 31°C, Prayagraj and Varanasi 32°C, and Ayodhya 33°C. The minimum temperature will be between 13°C and 20°C. Due to rain and clouds, temperatures will feel slightly lower than normal. However, high humidity and moisture (60-90%) may cause the weather to become humid at times.
Meteorological Department issued a warning
The Meteorological Department has issued a warning, so people need to be vigilant. Avoid going into open areas during thunderstorms and lightning. Strong winds can cause trees or weak buildings to fall, so maintain a safe distance. Exercise extra caution while driving, as rain can make roads slippery. Always carry an umbrella or raincoat when leaving the house and monitor weather updates.
For now, rain and clouds will provide some relief from the heat in Uttar Pradesh. Temperatures between 30-33 degrees Celsius will make the heat less intense. But this relief will not last long. As the weather clears, sunlight will intensify, and temperatures will rise again. For now, the weather will remain pleasant and slightly cool.
According to the Meteorological Department, after March 21st, the weather will gradually clear and temperatures will rise. Maximum temperatures could reach 34-36 degrees Celsius in the next 3-4 days. This means that the heat may return strongly in the last days of March. At present, the weather will be a bit unstable on March 20, but after that the return of heat is almost certain.
