LUCKNOW, Jan. 17 -- There will be a gradual increase in minimum temperature but fog is likely to rise in the coming days leading to the possibility of cold day conditions during the next few days, a weatherman said. The decline in night temperatures over the past few days due to the influence of the western disturbance has ceased and a slight increase has been observed. As a result, the cold wave conditions prevailing in western UP over the past few days have eased slightly. Partial cold wave conditions were observed on Thursday night in Kanpur, Barabanki and Ayodhya in eastern Uttar Pradesh. However, due to the influence of the western disturbance, a gradual increase of 4 to 6degC in the minimum temperature is expected across the state over the next 4 to 5 days. This will lead to an improvement in the cold wave conditions at night. Furthermore, an increase in the area and density of fog is expected across the state over the next 2 to 3 days, resulting in significant fluctuations in daytime temperatures and the possibility of cold day conditions in some areas. Although the fog is expected to clear later in the day in most places, leading to pleasant weather during the day, cold conditions are likely to persist from evening until late morning.htc...
