Why did the weather change, know
Lucknow’s meteorologist Atul Kumar Singh said- At present, a dry line is present over south-western Rajasthan, which is going up to Kerala. The whole of Uttar Pradesh is coming under its influence. Along with this, a powerful western disturbance is also active. The moist winds coming from the Bay of Bengal and the south-western winds are colliding with each other. This is the reason for this change in the weather.
