In the afternoon, due to the extremely slow wind speed, moisture increased in the atmosphere, which made people feel more sweaty and uneasy. People coming out in the markets and on the roads had to face hot winds and sticky humidity. There was no significant relief in the weather even at night. People could not get relief from the heat due to the lack of wind and high humidity. Although the temperature recorded a slight increase compared to Thursday, but the heat felt was relatively high. According to meteorologists, the progress of the monsoon is slower than usual, due to which the wait for rain in many parts of the state has increased. Prayagraj is also expected to remain dry for the next few days. The meteorological department has predicted that the maximum temperature may reach 43 ° C between June 20 and 22. In such an afternoon, people have been advised to avoid going out unnecessarily and drinking water.
