Chilly conditions prevailed in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, with Nazeebabad in Bijnor district recording 0.5 degrees Celsius overnight. A sunny afternoon on Friday provided some relief but the evening witnessed heavy rains in many places in Uttar Pradesh.
The meteorological department has predicted more rainfall in the coming days. Its director JP Gupta said the rains were likely to stop from Monday.
The maximum temperature in Lucknow on Friday was 19.3 degrees Celsius (three degrees below normal) and the lowest was 5.2 degrees Celsius (two notches below normal).

On Friday, night temperatures dropped steeply in Agra, Moradabad, Meerut and Gorakhpur. The railways said over 20 trains were running late after fog affected visibility.
