Gorakhpur has enjoyed uninterrupted sunshine since early morning, but residents are finding the high humidity uncomfortable as temperatures climb toward record highs.
Gorakhpur has been graced with strong sunshine since the early hours, creating a bright and clear sky over the city. The uninterrupted daylight has been a welcome sight for many, yet the weather conditions are not entirely pleasant.
Despite the sunny skies, the humidity levels have risen sharply, making the heat feel more oppressive. Residents report difficulty in staying cool, especially during midday hours when the combination of sun and moisture creates a muggy atmosphere.
Meteorological reports indicate that temperatures are expected to reach near-record highs later in the day, with a forecasted peak around 38°C (100°F). The high humidity is likely to exacerbate the heat, prompting health advisories for vulnerable groups.
Local authorities have urged people to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours. The city’s health department has also set up cooling centers in several public spaces to help residents cope with the heatwave.
