City colder than Dehra Dun
It was the coldest day of this winter as minimum temperature in the state capital came down to 4.8 degrees Celsius.
It was also the coldest day of this winter as minimum temperature in the state capital came down cascading to 4.8 degrees Celsius on Thursday from Wednesday's 12.6 degrees Celsius, whereas in Dehra Dun minimum temperature was 5.6 degrees Celsius.
In fact the dry icy northwesterly lashed the entire state, bringing down day as well as night temperatures all over. Agra was the coldest in the state with 3.0 degrees Celsius.
Kanpur recorded 5 degrees Celsius and Allahabad 4.6 degrees Celsius. Varanasi and Sultanpur shivered at 6.0 degrees Celsius. Day temperatures in this these cities, including Lucknow, also dropped drastically.
The cold winds, measuring upto 20-25 km per hour, carrying the chill brought from snow-fed Himalayas, penetrated so hard that people were shivering even during the day.
The sunshine, which was unbearable till two days back, on Thursday was not only pleasing, but people assembled in open skies during the day to collect as much heat from the sun rays as they could to warm themselves.
State Met director RK said that the cold wave will intensify further in the coming days. The anti-cyclonic circulation, which has caused 'heating' in the atmosphere two days back, has fizzled out, making way for the dry chilly winds coming straight from the hills where heavy snowfall has been reported.
Both minimum and maximum temperatures will fall for next two days, he said. Although there was some amount of fog in the morning, it could not sustain for long because of the high velocity minds, measuring upto 40-50 km per hour, in the upper strata of the atmosphere around 400-500 metres above the earth surface.
The chill in the wind had a 'piercing effect' on the skin, forcing people to stay indoors in the evening. Streets wore a deserted look. Even policemen on duty could not face the winter onslaught.
However, poor on the streets were left to fend for themselves, huddled around bonfires made out of wood, rags and tyres.
