• Daytime temperatures in October are already 1°C to 2°C above normal, with highs reaching 33°C to 35°C and lows around 22°C to 24°C.

Impact & Risks

Warmer winter conditions could affect agricultural activities in Uttar Pradesh, particularly the growth and yield of wheat and mustard crops. Reduced snowfall in mountainous regions may lead to weaker cold waves, impacting the usual winter chill. Farmers may face challenges due to shorter crop cycles and lower soil moisture levels, potentially leading to reduced yields.
